TURRET PHL-2160 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Turret PHL-2160 is a robust manual engine lathe engineered for precision machining operations in industrial and job shop environments. Featuring a 21-inch swing over bed and 60-inch distance between centers, this machine accommodates mid-sized workpieces with substantial capacity. The lathe is equipped with a 3.1-inch spindle bore and delivers 16 variable spindle speeds ranging from 20 to 1600 RPM, enabling optimal cutting parameters across diverse material and tool configurations. Threading capabilities span both metric and imperial standards, with inch thread ranges from 2 to 72 TPI and metric threads from 0.4 to 14 mm, providing versatility for various production requirements. The machine is powered by a 12.5 HP motor operating on 460V three-phase electrical supply, ensuring adequate torque for heavy-duty turning operations. Standard equipment includes 3 and 4-jaw chucks, steady rest, tailstock, chip pan, and a Newall Topaz digital readout for enhanced dimensional accuracy. The gap bed design allows for larger diameter workpiece mounting over the bed. Weighing approximately 6,000 pounds with shipping dimensions of 120 inches length by 48 inches width by 68 inches height, this lathe represents a substantial toolroom asset suitable for production runs, prototype development, and general machining applications requiring manual operator control and precision output.
