SAN EAGLE S1980 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SAN EAGLE S1980 is a precision manual engine lathe manufactured in Taiwan, designed for general-purpose turning and machining operations. This compact lathe features an 18.5-inch swing over the bed and an 11-inch swing over the cross slide, making it suitable for medium-sized workpieces. The distance between centers measures 78.7 inches, providing adequate length for extended turning operations and production runs. The spindle bore diameter of 2.3 inches accommodates standard tooling and allows for through-spindle work on smaller diameter components. Powered by a 7.5 HP motor, the lathe operates at a maximum spindle speed of 2,000 RPM, enabling efficient material removal across various metalworking applications. The manual operation provides operators with direct control over feed rates and spindle speed selection, allowing for adaptability to different materials and cutting conditions. This machine tool is particularly well-suited for job shops, educational institutions, and small manufacturing facilities requiring reliable turning capabilities without the complexity of CNC automation. The combination of moderate swing capacity, adequate center distance, and robust motor power makes the S1980 an effective choice for producing shafts, bushings, sleeves, and other cylindrical components from ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its straightforward manual interface facilitates quick setup changes and makes it accessible to operators with varying skill levels while maintaining precision machining standards.
