SAN SHING SK-26100 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The SAN SHING SK-26100 is a heavy-duty precision lathe manufactured by San Shing Machinery Industries, a Taiwan-based producer of industrial turning equipment. This manual engine lathe features a 26-inch swing over bed, enabling the machining of workpieces up to 26 inches in diameter, with a maximum distance between centers of 100 inches for extended length work. The machine is equipped with a 3.05-inch spindle bore and achieves speeds up to 1,200 RPM, providing versatility for various turning operations. The 13-inch swing over cross slide allows for precise radial positioning and tool control during precision cutting. Powered by a 7.5 HP motor, the SK-26100 delivers substantial cutting force suitable for heavy-duty applications. The lathe features a precision ground spindle supported by high-precision bearings at three points, ensuring dimensional accuracy and repeatability. The bed is constructed from high-strength cast iron FC-25 with heavily ribbed design and induction-hardened, precision-ground ways for rigidity and extended service life. The machine includes a dial rotary system for quick and easy speed changes, manual and automatic dual lubrication for slide surfaces, and a readily adjustable overload safety device. An emergency brake pedal enables immediate power cutoff and safe operation. The headstock incorporates hardened and precision-ground steel alloy gears and splines, while the tailstock features reduction gearing for convenient drilling operations. This configuration makes the SK-26100 well-suited for production turning, precision threading, and large-diameter component manufacturing in industrial settings.
