Baileigh PL-2080 20" × 80" Precision Geared Head Lathe
Are you running an industrial machine shop or production facility that needs a large-scale precision lathe for heavy, long, and oversized workpieces on 220V 3-phase power?
What if that lathe gave you a 20-inch swing, 80 inches between centers, a 15 HP geared headstock, a Mitutoyo 2-axis DRO, and a full set of standard accessories ready for production work?
Meet the Baileigh PL-2080, a 20-inch by 80-inch precision geared head lathe built for industrial machine shops and production facilities that need large-capacity turning with accuracy and repeatability on demanding workpieces.
With the PL-2080, you get a 15 HP motor on 220V 3-phase power, spindle speeds from 20 to 1,500 RPM, a 3.125-inch spindle bore, and a heavy cast iron base with precision-ground bed ways.
When the PL-2080 is set up for your work, you get clean, accurate results on large and long workpieces with a machine built for heavy industrial production use.
Baileigh PL-2080 for Heavy-Duty Large-Capacity Precision Lathe Turning
15 HP Geared Head Delivers Industrial Cutting Power
The 15 HP motor paired with a geared headstock delivers consistent high-torque cutting power from 20 to 1,500 RPM, covering the full range of turning, facing, threading, and contouring operations on heavy and hard metals. This power level suits industrial machine shops where the lathe handles demanding workloads throughout the production day.
Mitutoyo 2-Axis DRO and Precision-Ground Ways Hold Accuracy
The Mitutoyo 2-axis digital readout provides accurate positioning feedback and speeds up setup on close-tolerance work. Precision-ground bed ways minimize vibration and hold alignment through repeated heavy machining operations, keeping dimensional accuracy consistent on large workpieces across full production shifts.
20-Inch Swing and 80-Inch Centers Handle the Largest Stock
The 20-inch swing over bed and 80 inches between centers accommodate the largest diameter and longest workpieces that industrial shops encounter. A 3.125-inch spindle bore, 12.5-inch cross slide travel, and 10-inch compound rest travel support a full range of turning, facing, and contouring operations on heavy oversized stock.
Comprehensive Threading and Standard Accessories Ready for Production
The PL-2080 cuts 60 imperial thread pitches from 2 to 112 TPI, 60 metric pitches from 0.2 to 14mm, 50 modular pitch threads from 0.2 to 7 MP, and 50 diametrical pitch threads from 4 to 112 DP. It comes standard with a 3-jaw universal chuck, 10-inch back plate, micrometer saddle stop, steady rest, follow rest, and longitudinal rapid traverse — ready for production work from day one.
