KENT INDUSTRIAL USA, INC. KLS-1860V HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Kent Industrial USA KLS-1860V is a manual economy lathe engineered for versatile turning operations on mid-sized workpieces. Featuring a robust 7.5 HP main spindle motor with dual speed ranges (200-2000 RPM infinitely variable), the machine accommodates a maximum turning diameter of 10.8 inches with a 60-inch distance between centers, providing substantial capacity for various production requirements. The spindle utilizes a D1-8 camlock with a 3.1-inch bore and MT#7 taper with sleeve, enabling flexible tooling configurations. The machine boasts an 18-inch maximum swing over the bed and 27.5-inch gap swing capability for larger diameter workpieces. Cross slide travel extends 11 inches with 0.0006-0.0365 inch feed increments, while the top slide provides 4 inches of travel with 0.0015-0.0913 inch longitudinal feeds. Standard thread pitches range from 1-5/8 to 72 TPI for inch specifications, with metric capabilities from 0.5 to 20 mm pitch. The hardened and ground gears and bedways ensure precision and durability across extended service life. A centralized lubrication system simplifies maintenance, while integrated jog buttons and multi-position feed stops enhance operational control. The machine dimensions total 112 by 40 by 50 inches with a substantial 6,380-pound mass, ensuring rigidity and stability during demanding machining operations. An auxiliary 1/8 HP coolant pump motor provides integrated flood cooling capabilities, making this lathe suitable for production environments requiring consistent surface finishes and dimensional accuracy.
