Technical Description

The SANT AG-60 manual lathe features a robust design optimized for versatile metalworking tasks. It offers a swing of 16.1 inches over the bed, allowing machining of relatively large diameter workpieces, with a maximum distance between centers of 39.3 inches to accommodate longer parts. The spindle bore measures 1.65 inches, enabling the passage of sizable stock through the spindle for internal machining. Powered by a 2.0 HP motor, this lathe operates at a spindle speed of 50 RPM, suitable for precise and controlled cutting operations. Weighing 3,086.4 pounds, the machine's heavy cast-iron construction ensures rigidity and stability, critical for achieving high dimensional accuracy and surface finish quality in turnings. Typical features likely include a robust headstock, precision-ground ways, a manually operated carriage with cross-slide and compound rest, and a tailstock for drilling or support during turning. The lathe's manual controls provide reliable operation for various turning, facing, threading, and boring applications, making it ideal for small to medium-sized workshop environments requiring dependable, conventional metal shaping equipment.
