SANT AG-80 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SANT AG-80 manual lathe is a robust and precise machine tool designed for turning operations on medium to large workpieces. It features a **swing of 21.6 inches** and a distance between centers of **55.0 inches**, allowing accommodation of substantial lengths and diameters of material. The lathe’s spindle has a **bore diameter of 2.16 inches**, providing the ability to pass larger stock or tooling directly through the spindle. Driven by a **5.0 HP motor**, it delivers reliable power for a variety of machining tasks. The spindle speed is fixed at **45 RPM**, suitable for heavy-duty turning and roughing processes requiring high torque at low speed. Weighing **4850 lbs**, the lathe offers stability and vibration damping critical to maintaining precision and surface finish quality. The machine is constructed with heavy-duty castings and precision-ground components, ensuring durability and consistent accuracy throughout its service life. Typical applications include machining large shafts, pulleys, brake drums, and similar substantial components where both capacity and precision are essential. Manual controls provide traditional lathe operation experience, with features aimed at rigidity and operator control rather than high-speed or CNC automation. Overall, the SANT AG-80 is well-suited to workshop environments requiring a rugged, reliable, and precise manual lathe with significant swing and length capacity for large or long turning workpieces.
