✅ What It Does
The GT-26120 performs a full range of manual lathe operations on various materials—primarily steel, aluminum, brass, stainless, and cast iron. It is used to:
• Turn (reduce diameter) of large parts
• Face components to create flat ends
• Cut threads (metric/inch)
• Bore holes concentrically into existing holes
• Taper-turn parts using the compound rest or tailstock offset
• Part off material to desired lengths
