SAN EAGLE L3080 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The SAN EAGLE L3080 is a precision manual engine lathe engineered for general-purpose machining operations. This machine features a 29.92-inch swing capacity over the bed, accommodating workpieces up to this diameter for turning and boring operations. The center distance spans 78.74 inches, providing substantial longitudinal working length for extended cylindrical components. The spindle bore diameter of 4.53 inches enables mounting of various tooling and workpiece fixtures with adequate through-hole clearance. Powered by a robust 10.06 HP motor, the L3080 delivers consistent cutting performance for both roughing and finishing operations across diverse materials. Operating at 1,000 RPM, the machine maintains controlled spindle speeds suitable for precision work and larger diameter workpieces where lower speeds are critical for surface finish and tool life. The swing over cross slide measures 21.26 inches, defining the maximum workpiece diameter that can be machined when the cross slide is positioned for turning operations. This manual lathe configuration emphasizes operator control and versatility, allowing skilled machinists to execute complex turning sequences, threading, facing, and boring tasks. The combination of adequate power, moderate spindle speed, and substantial swing capacity positions the L3080 as a capable workhorse for job shops, tool and die facilities, and production environments requiring flexible manual control. The machine's specifications make it suitable for both steel and cast iron workpieces, supporting applications ranging from prototype development to medium-volume production runs requiring precision cylindrical machining.
