U.S. INDUSTRIAL US 26120 CY MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The U.S. Industrial USL26120 is a precision geared-head engine lathe designed for heavy-duty manual machining operations. This 26" × 120" machine features a substantial 4.1" spindle bore capable of accommodating large workpieces and tooling. The lathe delivers 20 HP of spindle power with a maximum speed of 900 RPM, providing ample torque for demanding turning, facing, and boring tasks. With a swing capacity of 25.9 inches over the bed and an extended center distance of 120 inches, the machine accommodates both large-diameter and long workpieces. The gap-bed design incorporates a 34.25-inch swing over the gap section, enabling machining of oversized components that exceed standard bed capacity. The precision spindle features three-point support with a #5MT taper, ensuring rigidity and concentricity critical for finishing operations. The machine includes multiple speeds via geared headstock design, providing operators with flexible speed selection for various materials and operations. Built on a solid full-length cast iron base and bedways, the lathe delivers maximum structural rigidity and thermal stability. Standard equipment includes a coolant system with splash guard, multiple threading capabilities spanning both metric and inch standards, and precision rapid traverse mechanisms. The feed-rod/lead screw safety interlock system and weight-bearing tailstock enhance operator safety and workpiece security. This machine excels for production work, prototype development, and general job-shop applications requiring precision and reliability in manual lathe operations.
