TRAVIS T-1660 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The TRAVIS T-1660 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty precision lathe designed for versatile machining tasks. It features a **16.14-inch swing capacity** allowing it to handle relatively large diameter workpieces, complemented by a **59.06-inch distance between centers** suitable for machining long shafts or rods. The lathe operates at speeds up to **2,000 RPM**, facilitating a range of turning, facing, threading, and drilling operations with controlled surface finish and accuracy. Its manual operation offers direct mechanical control for tool movement and workpiece rotation, enhancing operator precision. Typical applications include metalworking, fabrication, and prototyping in industrial and machine shop environments. The robust construction ensures stability and vibration resistance, critical for maintaining tolerances and extending tool life during prolonged use. This lathe is well-suited for precision machining of medium-sized components requiring reliable, manual control and flexibility.
