TRAVIS T-26120A MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Travis T-26120A is a manual engine lathe engineered for precision machining operations across diverse industrial applications. This machine features a swing diameter of 25.98 inches over the bed, enabling the machining of substantial workpieces with reliable accuracy. The center distance of 118.11 inches provides an extended working length, accommodating longer components and facilitating complex turning operations. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 1,120 RPM, the T-26120A delivers controlled cutting performance suitable for heavy-duty material removal and finish work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The manual operation design offers machinists direct control over feed rates and cutting parameters, allowing for adaptive machining strategies based on material properties and tool engagement. Construction emphasizes rigidity and durability, with a robust bed structure that minimizes vibration and deflection during interrupted cuts and varying load conditions. The lathe accommodates standard tooling configurations, enabling quick tool changes and setup modifications for diverse production requirements. Its conventional turret or tool post arrangement supports multiple cutting tools for sequential operations without repositioning the workpiece. The T-26120A represents a versatile platform for job-shop environments, educational institutions, and specialized manufacturing applications where operator skill and machine flexibility are valued. Its manual control system provides tactile feedback essential for achieving dimensional accuracy and surface finish quality. This machine combines proven engineering principles with straightforward maintenance requirements, making it a reliable choice for experienced operators requiring consistent performance and adaptability across varied production scenarios.
