Red Wing 26A Lathe

Red Wing 26A Lathe
The Handler Red Wing 26A is a heavy-duty, two-speed bench lathe designed for polishing, grinding, buffing, and other finishing procedures in dental laboratories. Its 1/4 HP ball-bearing AC motor offers selectable operating speeds of 1,725 and 3,450 RPM, providing versatility for working with different materials and attachments.
This unit features a durable cast-metal housing and low-profile bench base with mounting holes for secure installation. A three-position High/Off/Low toggle switch provides straightforward speed selection. The lathe includes a tapered spindle attachment on one side and a chuck-style attachment on the opposite side, as shown in the product photographs.
This is a pre-owned unit with cosmetic wear consistent with its age and previous laboratory use. Visible wear includes scratches, scuffs, staining, finish loss, residue, and surface oxidation around portions of the housing, base, and attachments. Please review all photographs carefully for the exact condition and included components.
Polishing wheels, brushes, work hoods, dust-collection equipment, and additional accessories are not included. Unless specifically stated otherwise, operational performance has not been verified, and the unit should be inspected by a qualified technician before being placed into service.
