VICTOR 29170T MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Victor 29170T Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty, precision-engineered machine designed for demanding industrial turning applications. With a robust 29.0-inch swing over the bed and 20.5-inch swing over the cross slide, it offers exceptional capacity for large workpieces. The lathe provides a generous 166.7 inches between centers, making it suitable for extended-length machining tasks. At the heart of the machine is a large 4.13-inch spindle bore, paired with a D1-11 camlock spindle nose for secure workholding. The headstock is powered by a 20.0 HP main motor, delivering ample torque for heavy cutting operations across a wide range of materials. The spindle offers 12 precise speed steps, adjustable from 25 to 1,200 RPM, allowing for optimal performance in both roughing and finishing operations. The lathe features hardened and ground bedways for superior rigidity, accuracy, and long-term durability. The spindle is supported by three high-precision bearings—two taper roller bearings and one ball bearing—ensuring smooth operation and minimal vibration. The machine is equipped with a 4-way rapid traverse system for efficient tool movement and includes comprehensive threading capabilities, supporting both inch (2–56 TPI) and metric (0.5–14 mm) threads. The tailstock features a #5 Morse taper center and 7 inches of quill travel for versatile setup options. Designed for reliability and ease of use, the Victor 29170T Manual Lathe is an ideal solution for shops requiring high-capacity, heavy-duty turning with consistent precision and long service life.
