The SHARP 26120B manual lathe is a heavy-duty precision machine designed for large metalworking tasks. It features a 26-inch swing over the bed and a substantial 120-inch distance between centers, allowing it to handle long workpieces with precision. The lathe is equipped with a robust 15-horsepower motor that drives the spindle at variable speeds up to 1,500 RPM through a gear-driven system, with a low-speed capacity down to 10 RPM for heavy cutting torque. Its spindle bore measures 4.5 inches and utilizes a D1-11 camlock spindle nose for secure and versatile tooling attachment. The swing over the cross slide is 18 inches, providing additional clearance for various operations. Built on a one-piece cast Meehanite bed 16 inches wide, the lathe ensures rigidity and vibration dampening essential for accuracy in machining. The machine’s overall dimensions are approximately 15.83 feet in length, 3.41 feet wide, and 4.33 feet tall, with a weight of around 8,140 pounds, reflecting its robust construction. Additional features include a quick-change gearbox with 12 spindle speeds spanning 10 to 1,000 RPM, direct selection for inch and metric threading, and options for double chucks. This lathe is ideally suited for demanding industrial applications requiring large capacity, precise control, and durability.
