SAN EAGLE L2680 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SAN EAGLE L2680 is a precision manual engine lathe engineered for general-purpose heavy-duty turning operations. Featuring a 25.98-inch swing over bed, this machine accommodates large workpieces with substantial diameter capacity, while the 78.74-inch center distance provides ample between-centers length for extended turning applications. The lathe is equipped with a 3.35-inch spindle bore, allowing secure mounting of various work-holding devices and accommodating moderately sized workpiece bores. A robust 10.06 horsepower motor delivers sufficient cutting power for productive stock removal across diverse material types. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 1,500 RPM, the machine balances speed capability with torque delivery suitable for precision work and interrupted cuts. The 17.32-inch swing over the cross slide enables efficient radial tool positioning for facing, boring, and shoulder turning operations. The machine's manual operation provides operators with direct control over all machining parameters, facilitating adaptive feeding and precise dimensional control. Ideal applications include general machining, prototype development, maintenance operations, and job shop work requiring flexibility and reliability. The combination of bed length, spindle bore size, and motor power makes the L2680 versatile for both large-diameter finishing work and smaller precision turning tasks, offering the responsive control characteristic of manual lathes while maintaining rigid construction necessary for consistent accuracy and extended service life.
