Right-Angle “T” Lathes for Sale – Heavy-Duty Swing, Compact Footprint
At Sterling Machinery Exchange, we sell right-angle “T” lathes engineered for huge swing capacity with a short bed length. If your work involves large diameter parts but you’re tight on floorspace, a right-angle T lathe delivers heavy-duty turning in a compact layout—perfect for shops that need big-part capability without a long bed.
Why Choose a Right-Angle T Lathe?
• Massive Swing, Small Footprint: Turn large flanges, flywheels, rings, and housings without a long bed
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Rigid base, robust spindle, and powerful drives for tough materials
• Space-Saver: Right-angle layout maximizes diameter capacity in tight facilities
• Versatile Fixturing: Chucks, faceplates, and custom fixtures for large-OD work

How to Choose a Right-Angle T Lathe
Focus on the work you do most—diameter, part weight, and setup style—and select capacity and options accordingly.
1) Swing & Work Envelope
Confirm maximum swing over the cross area and available clearance for faceplates/fixtures. Right-angle T designs prioritize large-OD parts with minimal bed length.
2) Spindle Bore & Workholding
Match spindle bore to through-bar or shaft work. Specify required chucks, faceplates, steady/follow rests, and custom fixtures for large rings or offset work.
3) Power & Rigidity
Look for high-torque drives, rigid headstock, and robust ways to maintain finish on heavy cuts in steel, stainless, and castings.
4) Controls & Features
Manual, DRO-equipped, or CNC options depending on repeat work and tolerances. Consider taper attachments, coolant, guards, and chip control for large-diameter turning.
5) Footprint & Utilities
Verify overall length/width, foundation needs, and electricals. Right-angle layouts help big-part shops fit heavy turning into tighter bays.
