How much does the Victor Taichung Vturn-46/165 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Victor Taichung Vturn-46/165 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-46/165 is the slow, strong member of the maker's heavy lathe family. Its spindle tops out at 1,500 rpm and is driven through a built-in 4-step gearbox, and the machine turns Ø730 mm (Ø28.74 in) over a length of 1,750 mm (68.89 in).
A four-speed gearbox on a lathe of this size says what it is for. Each gear step multiplies motor torque at the low end, so large diameters in tough material can be roughed at a proper depth of cut. Top speed is given up in exchange, and 1,500 rpm is the lowest figure among the horizontal lathes in the range.
Unlike the Vturn-40 and Vturn-45, the model is listed in one configuration only. There is a single column in the table: 10 tools on □32 mm shanks, an M.T. #5 tailstock quill marked live, an A2-11 nose with a 15 in chuck, and Ø115 mm (Ø4.52 in) of bar capacity. No C Axis or Y Axis column appears for it.
The maximum turning diameter of Ø730 mm (Ø28.74 in) is larger than anything the other two families list, yet the standard turning diameter and the swing over the carriage are both Ø520 mm (Ø20.47 in). Full-diameter work is therefore short work near the chuck, with shafts limited to what clears the carriage. Weight is 12,800 kg (28,219.13 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Victor Taichung describes it as a built-in 4-step gearbox for heavy cutting. The table lists a maximum spindle speed of 1,500 rpm on an A2-11 nose with a 15 in chuck.
02
Maximum turning diameter is Ø730 mm (Ø28.74 in) and maximum turning length is 1,750 mm (68.89 in). Standard turning diameter and swing over the carriage are both Ø520 mm (Ø20.47 in).
03
The maker's table shows one column for this model, with a 10-tool turret and no C Axis or Y Axis variant. A C-axis with live tooling appears on the option list shared by the series, so ask whether it applies to this model.
04
12,800 kg (28,219.13 lb). That is close to the short-bed Vturn-40/125, which the maker lists at 12,700 kg (27,998.67 lb) as a 2 Axis machine.
