The Summit 26-6 x 200 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty, ISO-compliant engine lathe designed for demanding industrial turning applications. Featuring a 26-inch swing over the bed and a 199-inch center distance, this lathe provides robust capacity for large workpieces. The massive 6.09-inch spindle bore allows for the passage of long bar stock, while the precision-ground, hardened bedways ensure exceptional rigidity and accuracy. Powered by a 20 horsepower motor, the lathe delivers a maximum spindle speed of 800 RPM, supporting a wide range of machining operations. The swing over the cross slide is 18 inches, enabling versatile tool positioning and part handling. The machine’s dimensions are 54 inches deep, 64 inches high, and 284 inches long, with a total weight of 12,210 lbs, reflecting its rugged, vibration-resistant cast iron construction. Standard features include a quick-change gearbox for American (inch), metric, and module pitch threading, rapid traverse on the carriage (4-way), a two-speed tailstock, electric spindle brake, and a comprehensive suite of accessories such as a steady rest, follow rest, thread dial, coolant system, taper attachment, and work light. The lathe is equipped with a 3-jaw and 4-jaw chuck for secure workholding, and its design emphasizes safety, ease of operation, and long-term durability. With forced lubrication to critical components and a removable gap section, the Summit 26-6 x 200 is engineered for high production, consistent performance, and trouble-free operation in the most challenging environments.
