KINGSTON HD-26120 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Kingston HD-26120 is a precision gap bed engine lathe designed for versatile machining applications requiring heavy-duty performance and accuracy. This machine features a 26-inch swing capacity with 120 inches between centers, providing substantial workpiece envelope for both large and small projects. The lathe is equipped with a 4.1-inch spindle bore, accommodating a D1-11 Camlock spindle that delivers reliable tool holding and quick changeover capabilities. Powered by a 15 horsepower motor, the machine operates at a maximum spindle speed of 1,200 RPM, enabling efficient material removal across various cutting operations. The swing over cross slide measures 17.5 inches, allowing for turning operations on larger diameter workpieces while maintaining dimensional control. The hardened and ground bed and cross slide ways ensure precision and longevity during extended production runs. The HD-26120 incorporates a 2 TPI lead screw for threading operations and features 16 feed changes per revolution, with longitudinal feeds ranging from 0.0012 to 0.039 inches, providing fine control for both roughing and finishing cuts. Standard equipment includes a coolant system with pump and piping, automatic longitudinal feed stop bar, thread chasing dial, two-speed drive tailstock spindle, and full-length splash guard. Weighing 7,000 pounds, this precision lathe offers the structural rigidity necessary for consistent performance. Longitudinal rapid traverse is standard on this machine, enhancing productivity and reducing cycle times during non-cutting movements.
