VICTOR 1660B MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Victor 1660B Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty, precision-engineered machine designed for demanding turning applications. Featuring a robust one-piece cast iron base, this lathe delivers exceptional stability, durability, and accuracy for consistent performance in industrial environments. With a 16-inch swing over the bed and a 10.25-inch swing over the cross slide, it accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes, while the 60-inch center distance allows for extended turning operations. The lathe is powered by a 7.5 horsepower three-phase main motor, providing ample torque and power across all speed ranges. The spindle achieves a maximum speed of 2,000 RPM, supported by precision bearings at three points for smooth, reliable operation and reduced vibration. The spindle bore measures 2.03 inches, enabling the processing of larger diameter stock. The machine incorporates hardened and ground bedways and gears for long-term accuracy and wear resistance, while the headstock transmission utilizes spline shafts for efficient power transfer. Safety features include an overload protection device, and the lathe supports both inch and metric threading without the need for gear changes. Designed for versatility and ease of use, the Victor 1660B Manual Lathe is ideal for shops requiring high performance, reliability, and precision in heavy-duty turning tasks.
