BERKSHIRE V2122 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The BERKSHIRE V2122 Manual Lathe features a substantial swing capacity of 20.47 inches, allowing it to accommodate large diameter workpieces for versatile turning operations. This manual lathe is engineered for precision metalworking tasks, offering robust construction for stability and durability during machining. It supports various traditional lathe functions such as facing, threading, and taper turning, making it suitable for both workshop and industrial environments. The machine’s spindle and bed design ensure accurate alignment and reduce vibrations, improving overall machining quality. Its manual operation allows fine control by the operator over cutting speed and feed rates, ideal for custom and delicate work where automated controls may be excessive or unavailable. The lathe typically includes essential accessories such as chucks, tool rests, and tailstocks to support a variety of jobs. Its 20.47-inch swing over the bed means that the maximum diameter of the workpiece that can be rotated without hitting the lathe bed is just over 20 inches, enabling handling of moderately large parts. While detailed specifications such as spindle speed ranges, motor power, and distance between centers were not provided, this machine’s swing size indicates it is suitable for medium to heavy-duty turning applications in metalworking industries requiring manual precision. The BERKSHIRE V2122 Manual Lathe thus represents a reliable platform for general-purpose turning with substantial workpiece capacity.
