SAN SHING SE-2880 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SAN SHING SE-2880 is a heavy-duty precision manual lathe engineered for demanding industrial machining applications. This machine features a 28-inch swing over bed with an 80-inch distance between centers, making it suitable for processing medium to large workpieces. The spindle bore measures 3.125 inches (80mm), accommodating substantial through-spindle operations and tool configurations. Equipped with a 10-horsepower main motor, the lathe operates at a maximum spindle speed of 1,000 RPM with 12 selectable speed changes, providing versatility across various cutting operations. The SE-2880 incorporates SAN SHING's signature heavily ribbed cast iron bed (FC-25) with induction-hardened and precision-ground ways, ensuring superior rigidity and dimensional stability during heavy cutting. The machine features a large-diameter spindle supported by high-precision bearings at three points for optimal accuracy and load distribution. The 19.5-inch swing over cross slide enables efficient workholding and tool positioning for diverse machining tasks. Standard equipment includes metric and inch threading capabilities, ranging from 0.8-14mm for metric threads and 2-28 threads per inch for inch specifications. Longitudinal feeds span 0.05-0.7mm/rev, while cross feeds range from 0.025-0.35mm/rev, accommodating precision finishing and high-material-removal operations. The manual lathe incorporates dual lubrication systems for slide surfaces and an automatic stopper for longitudinal feeds. With its A2-8 spindle nose and MT.No.5 taper center, the SE-2880 represents a robust, production-proven lathe suitable for job shops, tool rooms, and industrial manufacturing environments requiring reliable, manual precision turning capabilities.
