SUMMIT 20-4 X 80A MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The SUMMIT 20 - 4 x 80A Manual Lathe is a robust heavy-duty engine lathe designed for versatile turning applications with a swing capacity of 20 inches and centers of 80 inches, allowing it to handle long workpieces. It features a large 4-inch spindle bore, facilitating the machining of sizable shafts and tubing. The lathe is powered by a 10 horsepower motor, delivering speeds up to 1,500 RPM to accommodate a range of cutting conditions. The swing over cross slide is 13.25 inches, providing adequate clearance for tooling and workpiece access. Its overall dimensions are 134 inches in length, 44 inches in width, and 64 inches in height, with a substantial weight of 6,800 lbs, reflecting a rigid cast-iron construction that enhances stability and vibration damping during machining. Manual operation offers skilled machinists precise control over cutting via handwheels and levers, suitable for custom or low-volume work. The machine is well-suited for turning, facing, boring, threading, and other conventional lathe operations requiring moderate to large-sized workpieces and horsepower for material removal and finishing. Its size and power suggest suitability for workshop or production environments that require a reliable, versatile manual lathe capable of handling heavy and long components with accuracy.
