NARDINI SZ-2580T MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Nardini SZ-2580T manual lathe is a heavy-duty engine lathe with a 25-inch swing over the bed and 34-inch swing in the removable gap, allowing machining of large diameter workpieces. It offers a substantial 80-inch distance between centers and a 3.125-inch spindle bore, making it suitable for long and large workpieces. Powered by an 11.9 HP motor, it delivers spindle speeds ranging from 19 to 1500 RPM via a geared headstock for precise spindle control. The spindle nose uses a D1-8 Camlock system, facilitating quick and secure chuck changes. The lathe features an 18-inch swing over the cross slide and is equipped with both inch and metric threading capabilities, supporting fine threading work. Included are a 15-inch 3-jaw chuck, Aloris quick change tool post, steady rest, taper attachment (potentially incomplete), and a coolant system to manage heat during cutting. Its robust dimensions, approximately 155" x 57" x 70", and a weight around 9000 lbs, reflect its industrial construction designed for durability and stability. The lathe also includes feed ranges suitable for various machining operations, and the tailstock is typically equipped with a #5 Morse taper. This model is ideal for precision turning, threading, tapering, and heavy stock removal in a wide range of manufacturing and repair shop applications.
