1999 Haas SL-20 CNC Lathe

The 1999 Haas SL-20 is a compact yet robust two-axis CNC lathe, built for precision and efficiency. Offering a sweep of 23 inches over the bed and cross slide, and a 24-inch maximum turning length, it supports turning diameters up to approximately 10 inches using an 8-inch chuck or 2-inch bar capacity. Positioned between centers is 24 inches, while X travel measures 8.45 inches and Z travel measures 20 inches. Powered by a 20-horsepower vector drive spindle, it achieves up to 4000?RPM via an A2-6 nose and 3-inch bore, delivering steady torque for medium-duty production.

Equipped with a 10-station turret, the SL-20 provides rapid tool indexing and efficient spindle orientation. Typical features include a programmable tailstock, tool presetter interface, bar-feeder readiness, parts catcher, programmable coolant nozzle, chip auger, floppy/USB connectivity, and Haas control with quick-code programming. Rapid traverse on both axes reaches around 710?inches per minute, making it well-suited to smaller shops or high-precision short-run tasks.
