Technical Description

The Ganesh GTW-2680 is a precision manual engine lathe engineered for heavy-duty production and toolroom applications. This machine features a 20-inch swing over bed with an 80.5-inch center distance, providing substantial capacity for medium-to-large workpiece machining. The 3.125-inch spindle bore accommodates standard tooling and work-holding devices, while the 13-inch swing over cross slide enables efficient tool positioning for various turning operations. Powered by a 10 HP spindle motor, the lathe delivers 1,550 RPM maximum spindle speed, offering balanced cutting torque and surface finish capabilities across diverse material applications. The manual geared head spindle delivers multiple speed ranges for optimized performance with varying material types and tool geometries. Standard features include a hardened and ground Turcite-coated bed way system for enhanced precision and wear resistance, a 12-speed geared spindle head for high-torque cutting operations, and a D-11 camlock spindle nose for secure workholding. The lathe incorporates a gap bed design that permits 33.25-inch swing capacity through the gap, expanding workpiece versatility beyond standard bed limitations. Measuring 140 inches long by 51 inches wide by 50 inches tall and weighing 6,063 pounds, the GTW-2680 requires substantial shop floor space and proper foundation. Safety features include an automatic foot brake and chuck guard. This manual precision lathe suits job shops, contract manufacturers, and educational institutions requiring reliable, versatile metal turning capabilities with straightforward operation and proven dependability.
