SAN EAGLE V1930 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The San Eagle V1930 is a precision manual engine lathe designed for general machining applications requiring moderate capacity and versatility. This machine features an 18.5-inch swing over bed, enabling the machining of workpieces up to that diameter, with an 11-inch swing over the cross slide for reduced diameter work near the chuck. The spindle bore measures 2.3 inches, accommodating standard arbors and collets for various tooling configurations. The lathe operates at a maximum of 2,000 RPM with a 7.5 HP motor, providing sufficient torque for heavy cutting operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 29.9-inch distance between centers allows for extended workpiece lengths, making it suitable for shaft work and cylindrical turning operations. Manual control of speed and feed provides operators with direct control over machining parameters, essential for precision work and tool setup. The machine's construction emphasizes rigidity and accuracy, with a cast iron bed and headstock designed to minimize deflection during cutting. The cross slide mechanism enables precise depth-of-cut adjustments, while the tailstock provides support for longer workpieces and accommodates live centers or drilling operations. The spindle drive system delivers consistent power across the RPM range, suitable for both roughing and finishing operations. The V1930's compact footprint and moderate specifications make it ideal for small to medium job shops, tool and die facilities, and educational institutions. Its manual operation characteristics require skilled operator input for optimal performance, making it particularly valuable for prototype development, specialized machining, and applications where flexibility and precision are paramount requirements.
