SUPERTEC 2686 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SUPERTEC 2686 is a precision manual engine lathe engineered for general machining applications and toolroom work. This machine features a swing diameter of 26 inches (660.4 mm), providing adequate capacity for medium-sized cylindrical workpieces. The extended center distance of 86 inches (2,184.4 mm) accommodates longer workpieces, making it suitable for shaft manufacturing and similar applications requiring substantial between-centers capacity. The spindle bore diameter measures 4.13 inches (104.9 mm), enabling efficient through-spindle workholding and reducing the need for extended chuck adapters. This specification facilitates streamlined tooling setup and improves operational efficiency for production runs. The machine utilizes traditional manual control systems with a fixed bed configuration and manual gearbox adjustments for speed and feed regulation, offering operators full control over machining parameters and spindle speed selection. Built for reliability and straightforward operation, the SUPERTEC 2686 combines versatility with robust construction suitable for both job shop and dedicated production environments. Its specifications align with optimal dimensions for general toolroom work, where swing diameters of 350-500mm are standard considerations. The lathe's design emphasizes precision and durability, making it appropriate for manufacturing operations requiring consistent accuracy in turning, facing, boring, and threading operations on steel, aluminum, and other machinable materials.
