2020 Smart SL-260M CNC Lathe with Live Tooling

The Smart?SL-260M, circa 2020, is a heavy-duty box-way CNC lathe optimized for turning and live-tooling operations. It provides a generous 26.37-inch swing over bed, a 22.05-inch maximum turning length, and supports a maximum turning diameter of around 16.53?inches. The machine is configured with a 10-inch chuck, 2.56-inch spindle bar capacity, and a 12-station turret. Rated at 20?horsepower with a 4,000?RPM max spindle speed, it’s built on a rigid cast-iron base to minimize vibration and deliver high precision. Equipped with live tooling functionality, the SL-260M includes a tailstock, chip conveyor, parts catcher, and optional features like manual tool presetter and mist collector under Fanuc CNC control.

This lathe is ideal for shops that require both precision turning and occasional milling or drilling—all in one machine. Its robust construction and modular options make it a smart fit for tight-tolerance, mixed-process workflows where versatility and reliability are essential.
