Products classified under HTS 8466.94.20.00
Lathe Carriage Slide Casting
Cast iron slide casting for lathe compound rest carriage (8462), guiding tool movement. Minimal machining for alignment, qualifying HTS 8466.94.20.00 slide castings. Provides smooth, precise feeds.
Cast Iron Machine Bed for CNC Lathes
This heavy-duty cast iron bed serves as the foundational base for CNC lathes under heading 8462, providing stability and precision during machining operations. It is machined only to remove casting imperfections and fins, not advanced further, qualifying it under HTS 8466.94.20.00 as a bed casting for lathe machines. Essential for aligning the headstock, tailstock, and carriage in high-precision turning.
Cast Iron Base Casting for Drilling Machines
A robust cast iron base casting for drilling machines of heading 8463, designed to anchor the machine and absorb vibrations during drilling operations. Processed only by cleaning and basic machining to remove gates and sprues for finishing machine location. Meets HTS 8466.94.20.00 criteria as a base fabrication exclusively for drill presses.
Lathe Headstock Casting
Precision cast iron headstock casting for engine lathes (heading 8462), housing the spindle and providing rotational support. Limited to casting cleanup and location machining, aligning with HTS 8466.94.20.00 for headstock castings not advanced beyond basic preparation. Critical for maintaining alignment in turning operations.
Cast Iron Tailstock Casting for Lathes
Cast iron tailstock body casting for supporting long workpieces in lathes under heading 8462. Machined solely for gate removal and assembly location, qualifying under HTS 8466.94.20.00 as a tailstock casting. Provides adjustable live center support during cylindrical turning.
Drill Press Column Casting
Tall cast iron column casting forming the vertical support in benchtop drill presses (heading 8463). Basic machining only for sprue removal and base mounting, per HTS 8466.94.20.00 column casting requirements. Ensures rigidity for accurate drilling depths.
Cast Iron Cradle Frame for Machining Centers
Cast iron cradle frame casting supporting rotary tables in horizontal machining centers (8463). Cleaned and minimally machined for location only, fitting HTS 8466.94.20.00 as a cradle fabrication. Enables multi-axis workpiece positioning.
Bolster Plate Casting for Punch Presses
Heavy cast iron bolster plate for mechanical punch presses under heading 8462, distributing press forces. Basic casting preparation only, per HTS 8466.94.20.00 bolster specification. Protects bed from die impact deformation.
