MICROWEILY TY-2680SV MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MICROWEILY TY-2680SV is a robust manual lathe engineered for versatile turning, facing, and boring operations in job shop and production environments. With a 26-inch swing capacity and 79.9-inch centers, this machine accommodates medium to large workpieces, providing flexibility for diverse machining tasks. The 16-inch swing over the cross slide enables efficient radial stock removal while maintaining operator control through manual handwheel operation. Powered by a 10-horsepower motor delivering 1,550 RPM, the TY-2680SV balances cutting force with rotational speed for optimal material removal rates across various workpiece diameters and materials. The lathe features precision ground alignment keys maintaining headstock-to-tailstock concentricity, essential for accurate cylindrical work. Manual operation via handwheels with graduated markings facilitates repeatable depth cuts and feed adjustments, though productivity depends on operator skill and experience. The machine's construction utilizes a cast-iron bed providing structural stability and vibration damping critical for surface finish quality. This configuration suits artisanal work, prototype development, repair operations, and low-volume production runs where flexibility and precision outweigh automation requirements. The compound rest enables angled cuts and finishing work, while variable speed control through pulley adjustments allows optimization for different materials and cutting conditions. The TY-2680SV represents a traditional engine lathe design, offering machinists hands-on control for complex, one-off projects and custom piece fabrication requiring adaptive problem-solving capabilities.
