VICTOR S26100S MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The VICTOR S26100S is a precision heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for high-volume production of large components. Featuring a substantial 26-inch swing over bed with 100 inches between centers, this machine accommodates extended workpieces while maintaining exceptional rigidity. The large 4-1/8-inch spindle bore with D1-11 spindle nose enables mounting of diverse tooling and workholding devices. Powered by a robust 15 HP main motor, the lathe delivers consistent performance across its 12-step spindle speed range of 15 to 1,200 RPM, with optimized speeds for various turning operations. The 18.1-inch swing over cross slide provides additional clearance for complex geometries and interrupted cuts. Construction quality is paramount, featuring hardened and precision-ground chromium molybdenum steel gears in the headstock combined with hardened and ground bed ways and Meehanite casting for superior accuracy and durability. The carriage incorporates a mechanical overload device with Turcite B-coated slideways between the saddle and bed, while the induction-hardened cross slide (HRC 52°) ensures precision ground performance. Advanced features include a dual-speed tailstock quill with 1:1 and 5:1 ratios for efficient drilling operations and a universal inch/metric gearbox for threading versatility. The S26100S and longer models are equipped with 2-way longitudinal (Z-axis) power rapid traverse, enhancing operational efficiency. Longitudinal feeds range from 0.0014 to 0.0387 inches per revolution, accommodating diverse finishing and roughing requirements. Standard accessories include a removable gap, coolant system, chuck cover with limit switch, and threading dial indicator.
