Technical Description
The VICTOR S2240S Manual Lathe is a high-precision, heavy-duty engine lathe engineered for demanding turning applications. With a robust 15 HP main motor, it delivers consistent power for efficient machining of heavy-duty components. The lathe features a large 4.13-inch spindle bore, allowing for the passage of substantial bar stock, and a D1-11 spindle nose for secure workholding. Its hardened and precision-ground chromium molybdenum steel gears in the headstock, combined with hardened and ground bed ways, ensure long-term accuracy and durability. The Meehanite casting bed provides excellent vibration damping and structural stability. The spindle speed is adjustable across 12 steps, ranging from 15 to 1,200 RPM, offering flexibility for a wide range of materials and operations. The machine’s swing over the bed is 21.97 inches, with a swing over the cross slide of 14.13 inches, and a distance between centers of 40 inches, accommodating medium to large workpieces. Standard features include a removable gap, tailstock with dual-speed quill, coolant system, chuck cover with limit switch, D.P./module thread change gears, threading dial indicator, center sleeve, dead center M.T. #5, and comprehensive manual and parts list. The lathe also offers a longitudinal feed range of 0.0014" to 0.0387"/rev and a cross feed range of 0.0007" to 0.01935"/rev, supporting precise control for turning, facing, and threading operations. Designed for reliability and ease of use, the VICTOR S2240S is ideal for shops requiring high-performance manual turning capabilities.
