VICTOR 2080S MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The VICTOR 2080S manual lathe is a heavy-duty engine lathe designed for precision and stability in machining large workpieces. It features a 20-inch swing over the bed and an 80-inch center distance, allowing it to handle long and sizable parts with ease. The spindle bore diameter is 3.13 inches (79.5 mm), accommodating large tooling and bar stock. The lathe operates at speeds up to 1,550 RPM, powered by a robust 10 HP motor that delivers consistent power across 12 speed settings. The swing over the cross slide is 13 inches, facilitating machining close to the lathe bed. Built on a Meehanite casting bed, the machine offers exceptional rigidity and vibration resistance, enhancing machining accuracy and surface finish. The oversized, rigid compound rest supports heavy cuts, complemented by hardened and precision-ground gears and bedways. The spindle is supported by precision triple bearings, and the spindle nose is hardened and ground for durability. Threading can be performed easily in both inch and metric units without changing gears. The tailstock features a dual-speed quill providing a 1:1 and 1:5 ratio for versatile drilling operations. Additional attributes include a spline shaft-driven headstock transmission, a safety overload device, and power rapid traverse on the longitudinal (Z) axis for improved efficiency. This lathe weighs approximately 6,870 lbs and includes accessory options like chucks, steady rest, and quick-change tool posts, making the VICTOR 2080S suitable for heavy-duty, high-precision turning applications.
