KING INDUSTRIAL KC-1022ML MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The KING INDUSTRIAL KC-1022ML is a robust manual lathe engineered for precision turning, facing, and boring operations in workshops and educational environments. With a 10-inch swing and 22-inch center distance, it accommodates medium-sized workpieces, while the 1-inch spindle bore allows for the passage of longer stock or specialized tooling. The lathe delivers a maximum spindle speed of 2,400 RPM, providing flexibility for a wide range of materials and cutting requirements. The swing over the cross slide is 6 inches, enabling efficient tool positioning and depth control for accurate machining. The machine features a rigid cast iron bed for stability and vibration resistance, ensuring consistent accuracy and surface finish. The headstock houses precision bearings and a variable speed control system, allowing operators to select the optimal RPM for each task. The tailstock supports long workpieces and can be used for drilling or reaming operations. Manual handwheels on the carriage and cross slide facilitate precise tool movement, with graduated dials for accurate depth and feed adjustments. The compound rest enables fine angular cuts and finishing work, while the tool post securely holds various cutting tools. Designed for versatility, the KC-1022ML is suitable for repair work, prototyping, and small-batch production, offering reliable performance and ease of use for both experienced machinists and students.
