MICROWEILY TY-26160VS MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The MICROWEILY TY-26160VS is a manual engine lathe designed for general-purpose turning, facing, and boring operations in job shops, toolrooms, and maintenance facilities. With a 26-inch swing diameter and 160-inch center distance, this machine accommodates medium to large workpieces with substantial length capacity. The 4-inch spindle bore enables mounting of various chuck types and workholding devices for versatile clamping applications. Rated at 15 horsepower, the lathe delivers adequate cutting force for efficient material removal across diverse ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Operating at 1,500 RPM, the spindle speed supports both roughing operations requiring higher torque and finishing passes for superior surface finish. The 17-inch swing over cross slide provides clearance for radial tool positioning and accommodates larger diameter components during machining. The manual control system grants the operator direct control over carriage movement, depth of cut, and feed rate, enabling precise adjustments during turning, tapering, and thread-cutting operations. A lead screw facilitates automatic carriage feed for threading applications. The cast-iron bed ensures rigidity and thermal stability critical for maintaining accuracy and repeatability. Steady and follow rests can support long or thin workpieces to minimize deflection. This configuration positions the TY-26160VS as a reliable production lathe suitable for shops requiring flexibility in job work, prototyping, and specialized machining tasks requiring operator expertise and control.
