About this machine
The WMW Zerbst DPS1800 is a used heavy-duty lathe — sometimes referred to as a centre lathe or turning lathe — designed for the precision machining of large-diameter and high-mass workpieces. Lathes of this class are used across heavy engineering, shipbuilding, power generation, and general metalworking industries for turning, facing, boring, and threading operations on substantial components. WMW (Werkzeugmaschinenwerk) was a major East German state-owned machine tool manufacturer whose products became widely used throughout European and global industry, and this machine was built in Germany.
The defining capacity figures reflect its heavy-duty nature. The swing over the bed measures 1,800 mm, while the gap configuration extends that to 2,800 mm, allowing particularly large-diameter workpieces to be accommodated. The distance between centres is 3,000 mm, establishing the maximum length of component that can be turned. The chuck diameter matches the over-bed swing at 1,800 mm, and the spindle bore is 220 mm, permitting bar or shaft stock to pass through the headstock. Maximum workpiece weight is 8,000 kg, underlining the machine's suitability for heavy and large-scale parts.
The spindle speed range runs from 1.8 to 180 rpm, a wide spread that allows both very slow rotation for large-diameter work — where surface speed must be controlled carefully — and faster turning for smaller features. The main motor delivers 34 kW, providing the power necessary to take meaningful cuts in steel and other materials at this scale. The machine weighs approximately 21,000 kg, which is consistent with the rigidity required for accurate heavy turning.
A three-axis digital readout system, the Easson ES-14, is fitted, enabling the operator to monitor and control axis positions precisely during machining. The tailstock is engine powered, simplifying the handling of long or heavy components without manual effort. The machine is also offered with various tooling and the original user manual, adding practical value for a new owner.
This used lathe is located in the Netherlands and is available for inspection.
