In the world of manual lathes, not all machines are created equal. The Republic Lagun AT-LS Series Engine Lathes stand as a testament to thoughtful engineering, rugged construction, and a commitment to supporting American shops with dependable, high-performance tools.
Available in swings of 28″, 32″, and 36″, and center distances ranging from 60″ up to 240″, the AT-LS Series was built with flexibility in mindâoffering a broad range of capabilities for machine shops that demand both power and precision.
Big Power, Solid Foundation
At the heart of every AT-LS lathe is a robust motor:
20 HP on the LS-28
25 HP on the LS-32 and LS-36
That power is anchored by a monolithic floor-type bed/base casting, a single-piece foundation designed for maximum rigidity and vibration dampeningâtwo critical features when you’re taking on heavy cuts or tough materials.
Whether youâre roughing out large components or chasing tight tolerances, this machine holds its ground.
Designed with the Operator in Mind
Every detail of the AT-LS Series reflects practical, shop-floor wisdom. Each machine includes:
4.13â D1-11 Spindle Bore
4-Way Power Rapid Traverse
Coolant pump & piping
Chuck guard with electric interlock
Working light, leveling pads, dead centers & tool post
Full operatorâs manual and service tools
This isnât just a latheâitâs a complete solution ready to drop into your workflow and start making chips.
