How much does the Victor Taichung Vturn-18W cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Victor Taichung Vturn-18W that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Victor Taichung Vturn-18W is a slant-bed lathe built for one product, alloy wheels, in sizes up to 18 x 10J in. It turns Ø530 mm (Ø20.86 in) at most, on an A2-8 spindle that runs to 2,500 rpm, with a 10-tool turret on □32 mm shanks.
The axis rows show how the machine is laid out for a wheel. X travel is 315 mm (12.4 in), printed as a range from -50 to +265 mm, so the tool can cross the centre line to face the hub. Z travel is 750 mm (29.52 in). There is no bar capacity, tailstock or turning-length row in the table, because none applies to this work.
Wheel turning throws a great deal of fine aluminium swarf and needs it flushed away. The maker's notes say specific features were added for strong coolant flow, and the standard list reflects that: high pressure coolant, a special chip conveyor, an oil skimmer, an auto door and fully enclosed guarding with a large coolant tank. An air conditioner for the electrical cabinet is also standard.
Workholding is a choice. A 3-jaw finger chuck is on the option list and has to be specified for the first or the second operation. Other options are a higher power spindle of 37/45 kW (50/60 HP) and a built-in spindle for diamond turning. The machine weighs 7,620 kg (16,799.20 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table gives a maximum wheel size of 18 x 10J in and a maximum turning diameter of Ø530 mm (Ø20.86 in). Larger wheels are covered by the Vturn-22W, which is listed for 22 x 10J in.
02
X travel is 315 mm (12.4 in), given as a range of -50 ~ +265 mm, and Z travel is 750 mm (29.52 in). The negative X figure means the tool can pass the spindle centre line.
03
The standard list for this model includes an auto door, high pressure coolant, a special chip conveyor, an oil skimmer, automatic lubrication, fully enclosed guarding and an air conditioner for the electrical cabinet.
04
A 3-jaw finger chuck for wheels is on the option list, to be specified for the first or second operation. Confirm the workholding in the quotation, since it decides which side of the wheel the machine can cut.
