SAGAR LATHE MACHINE LIGHT DUTY S-2 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SAGAR LATHE MACHINE LIGHT DUTY S-2 is a compact manual lathe designed for general-purpose machining applications and light production work. This engine lathe features a 13.0-inch swing capacity over the bed, enabling it to accommodate workpieces with diameters up to that specification. The machine offers 38.0 inches of center-to-center distance, providing adequate capacity for moderate-length components. The spindle bore measures 1.6 inches with a threaded nose configuration, supporting various chuck and workholding accessories. Powered by a 0.9 HP motor operating at standard industrial speeds, the machine delivers sufficient torque for cutting, turning, and finishing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The cross slide features a 7.9-inch swing capacity, allowing radial tool positioning for precision work. The light-duty classification makes this lathe ideal for small workshops, job shops, and educational institutions requiring reliable, easy-to-operate machinery. Its manual operation provides operators with direct control and tactile feedback essential for precision machining. The S-2 model represents an entry-level to intermediate solution combining portability with functional capability, making it suitable for prototype development, maintenance work, and low-volume production runs. Its compact footprint and moderate power requirements make it compatible with standard industrial workshop infrastructure without requiring specialized electrical installations or extensive floor space allocation.
