VICTOR 2080 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The VICTOR 2080 manual lathe features a 20-inch swing and an 80-inch distance between centers, making it suitable for large workpieces. It operates at a maximum spindle speed of 1,550 RPM, powered by a robust 10 HP main motor. The spindle bore diameter is 3.13 inches, accommodating large-diameter stock for heavy-duty machining. The lathe is built on a full Meehanite cast iron bed for enhanced rigidity and vibration damping, ensuring precision and stability during cutting operations. It includes an oversized, rigid compound rest for heavy cuts and hardened, precision-ground bedways and gears to maintain accuracy over extended use. The spindle nose is precision ground and supported by three high-precision bearings for reliability and smooth rotation. The headstock transmission utilizes spline shafts to deliver power efficiently, and the machine incorporates a safety overload device for operator protection. The tailstock features a dual-speed quill (1:1 and 1:5 ratio) for efficient drilling and reaming operations. The machine dimensions are approximately 140 inches long, 50 inches wide, and 65 inches high, with a substantial weight around 7,000 pounds, reflecting its heavy-duty construction. This lathe supports inch/metric threading without changing gears and offers 12 spindle speeds to cover a wide range of machining tasks. Additional features may include a quick-change tool post, coolant system, and steady rest, enhancing versatility for various manual turning applications.
