SAN EAGLE S1930 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The San Eagle S1930 is a precision manual lathe engineered for versatile production and job-shop applications. This mid-sized machine features an 18.5-inch swing over bed, accommodating workpieces up to that diameter, with a 29.9-inch distance between centers enabling extended part lengths. The spindle bore measures 2.3 inches, providing adequate clearance for bar stock feeding and through-spindle operations. The cross slide offers 11 inches of swing capacity, facilitating efficient tool positioning and complex turning operations. Powered by a robust 7.5 HP motor, the lathe operates at a maximum spindle speed of 2,000 RPM, suitable for both roughing and finishing cuts across various materials. This speed range provides optimal cutting conditions for steel, aluminum, and cast iron workpieces. The manual operation design emphasizes operator control and precision, making it ideal for custom fabrication, prototype development, and small-to-medium production runs. The lathe's rigid construction and spindle characteristics ensure repeatability and dimensional accuracy for critical applications. Its compact footprint and moderate power consumption make it suitable for job shops and small manufacturing facilities with standard electrical service. The combination of swing diameter, center distance, and spindle bore creates a versatile platform for general-purpose turning, threading, and facing operations. The S1930 represents a balance between capability and practicality for shops requiring reliable, straightforward lathe performance without complex CNC systems.
