YANG BV20L-1 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The YANG BV20L-1 is a compact bench lathe engineered for precision metalworking and hobby machining applications. This economical machine features a precision ground V-way bed with super-hardened surface that ensures stable transmission performance and high machining accuracy during operation. The lathe is equipped with a robust spindle supported by precision tapered bearings, delivering reliable performance for small to medium-sized parts production and individual repairs. Key technical specifications include a swing capacity of 7.85 inches over the cross slide and a maximum distance between centers of 21.6 inches, providing adequate workspace for various turning operations. The machine operates across six selectable spindle speeds, achieving a maximum of 1,950 RPM to accommodate diverse material and tool requirements. The spindle bore measures 20mm with an M13 taper, and the tailstock quill offers 35mm of travel with an M12 taper. The BV20L-1 features full gear transmission for consistent cutting performance and includes automatic cutting capabilities in both vertical and horizontal directions, eliminating the need for change wheel replacement. Longitudinal feeds range from 0.05-0.15mm per revolution, supporting both metric threads (0.4-3mm) and inch threads (8-32 TPI). Powered by a 0.55kW to 0.75kW motor, the lathe includes a bottom cabinet oil pan, rear chip guard, work light, and independent electrical box for safe, stable operation. Its compact design—weighing approximately 110-125kg—makes it ideal for workshop environments with space constraints.
