STANDARD MODERN 2080 MANUAL LATHE

The STANDARD MODERN 2080 is a robust manual engine lathe engineered for precision metalworking operations. This machine features a 20-inch swing capacity with an 80-inch distance between centers, providing substantial workpiece accommodation for turning, threading, and general machining applications. The spindle bore measures 3.06 inches with a D1-11" camlock chuck interface, supported by a three-bearing spindle design that ensures rigid, vibration-free operation. Powered by a 15 horsepower motor, the lathe delivers continuous duty performance with an 18-speed range spanning 27 to 1,600 RPM, enabling versatile material removal rates and surface finishes across various workpiece diameters and materials. The cross-slide swing capacity of 12 inches accommodates larger turning diameters over the carriage. Threading capabilities include inch (2 to 127 TPI) and metric (14.0 to 0.2 mm) options, with dual-reading dials for precise thread pitch selection. The machine employs manual shift gear ranges and lever-actuated controls for intuitive operation, featuring instantaneous reverse capability on both spindle and cross-feed functions—a distinctive feature uncommon in modern lathe designs. This American and Canadian-manufactured unit is ISO 9001 certified, reflecting rigorous build quality standards. Its all-manual control system combined with heavy-duty construction makes the STANDARD MODERN 2080 ideal for job shops, tool rooms, and production environments requiring dependable, precise turning work without CNC complexity.
