VICTOR 2040E MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Victor 2040E manual lathe is a precision-engineered heavy-duty machine designed for demanding machining applications. It features a 20-inch swing capacity and a 39.37-inch distance between centers, allowing for versatile workpiece sizes. The lathe is equipped with a large 3.13-inch spindle bore, facilitating the machining of long or hollow parts. Powered by a robust 7.5 HP motor, it delivers spindle speeds up to 2,000 RPM, covering a broad range of cutting conditions. The swing over the cross slide measures 13 inches, suitable for medium-sized workpieces. The machine incorporates a one-piece, high-rigidity Meehanite cast bed that is thermally treated and precision ground to minimize vibration and maintain alignment during operation. Its design emphasizes accuracy and structural stability, essential for high-quality turning work. Key features typically include a spindle nose compatible with D1-6 standards, threading capabilities for inch and metric threads, and compatibility with various tooling setups such as 3-jaw chucks and tool posts. Additional functional elements often include coolant systems, foot brakes, and optional digital readouts for enhanced precision control. This lathe is broadly used in metalworking shops where dependability, power, and precision are critical, making it suitable for fabricating shafts, bushings, sleeves, and similar components. Its combination of capacity, power, and structural design supports a wide range of manual lathe operations efficiently.
