SAN EAGLE S1960 MANUAL LATHE

The SAN EAGLE S1960 is a precision manual engine lathe designed for versatile machining applications requiring moderate swing capacity and extended between-center distance. This machine features an 18.5-inch swing over bed, providing adequate capacity for general-purpose turning operations on medium-sized workpieces. The 59.1-inch distance between centers enables extended workpiece lengths, making it suitable for shaft work, spindle production, and other applications requiring substantial axial dimensions. The 2.3-inch spindle bore accommodates standard tooling and allows for through-spindle operations on smaller diameter components. With 11.0 inches of swing over the cross slide, the lathe provides practical clearance for tool access and workpiece manipulation during facing and turning operations. The 7.5 horsepower motor delivers adequate torque across the machine's operational range, while the 2,000 RPM maximum spindle speed balances material removal rates with surface finish quality across varying workpiece materials and diameters. This speed capability is appropriate for both roughing operations and precision finishing work. The manual control configuration provides operators with direct machine responsiveness and precise feed control, making it ideal for skilled machinists performing prototype work, custom manufacturing, and job shop applications. The SAN EAGLE S1960 combines robust construction with practical capacity, establishing it as a reliable platform for traditional precision turning work in small-to-medium production environments.
