SAN EAGLE M2240 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SAN EAGLE M2240 manual lathe is a robust machine designed for precision turning and various machining tasks. It features a **22.05-inch swing**, allowing it to handle sizable workpieces up to this diameter. The **distance between centers is 39.37 inches**, which supports machining long shafts or parts with significant length. The spindle bore diameter of **3.35 inches** facilitates the passage of long stock through the spindle for extended workpieces. Powered by a **7.46 HP motor**, the lathe delivers substantial torque for cutting tougher materials, complemented by a maximum spindle speed of **1,500 RPM** to optimize throughput across a range of operations. The **swing over the cross slide measures 13.39 inches**, defining the largest diameter that can be machined when using the cross slide tool post, crucial for turning operations with offset tools. Built typically with a cast iron bed, the lathe offers stability and precision by minimizing vibrations. It includes a headstock housing preloaded bearings that support the spindle rotation, ensuring accurate and smooth motion. Operator control of speed and feed allows versatility in machining different materials and finishes. The comprehensive capacity and power specifications make the SAN EAGLE M2240 suitable for toolroom, prototyping, and medium-duty production environments, providing a balance of capacity, stability, and throughput essential for manual lathe applications.
