Red Wing 26A Lathe

Red Wing 26A Lathe
The Handler Red Wing 26A is a durable, two-speed bench-top lathe designed for polishing, grinding, and finishing work in dental laboratories. Its 1/4 HP ball-bearing AC motor provides selectable operating speeds of 1,725 and 3,450 RPM, allowing technicians to choose the appropriate speed for different materials and procedures.
This unit features a heavy cast-metal housing and base, dual-ended shafts, a High/Low speed selector, and mounting holes for securing the lathe to a suitable workbench. Left- and right-side spindle hardware is included as pictured. Polishing wheels, brushes, splash hoods, and dust-collection equipment are not included.
This is an older, pre-owned unit with substantial cosmetic wear consistent with laboratory use and age. The housing and base exhibit scratches, chipped finish, discoloration, residue, surface oxidation, and areas of rust. The spindle hardware also shows oxidation and wear. Please review all photographs carefully for the item’s exact condition.
