Technical Description

The Cincinnati Machines 26120 is a manual engine lathe designed for heavy-duty machining applications, featuring a 26-inch swing over the bed and an extended 120-inch distance between centers. It measures approximately 15 feet 6 inches in length, 44 inches in width, and 60 inches in height, with a substantial weight of 9,700 pounds, indicating robust construction for stability and precision. The lathe likely includes standard engine lathe features such as a hardened and ground bed for durability, a large spindle bore to accommodate substantial workpieces, and precise taper #6 centers for accurate alignment. The unit supports a wide range of machining tasks including turning, threading, and facing on parts up to 26 inches in diameter and 10 feet in length. Its manual control system offers reliable, straightforward operation for skilled machinists requiring versatile lathe functions without CNC automation. While specific spindle speed, motor details, or included accessories for this model are not listed, similar machines typically include power feeds, tailstock, steady rests, and chucks compatible with the given swing and center distance. This lathe serves well in environments needing heavy material removal or large part handling, such as fabrication shops or maintenance facilities that require precision turning of large components. Its dimensions and weight denote a machine that balances capacity with floor space considerations, making it suitable for sizable workpieces within a medium to large workshop setting.
