The Kingston HD-2660 is a precision gap bed engine lathe engineered for versatile machining applications requiring heavy-duty performance and accuracy. This manual lathe features a 26-inch swing over bed with a 60-inch distance between centers, providing substantial capacity for medium to large workpieces. The hardened and ground main spindle incorporates three-point bearing support with taper roller bearings, delivering reliable precision cutting performance. With a 4.1-inch spindle bore and D1-11 Camlock spindle nose, the lathe accommodates a wide range of tooling configurations and work-holding devices. The machine delivers 15 horsepower through a timing-belt-driven power train system offering 12 selectable speeds ranging from 13 to 1,200 RPM with integrated foot brake capability. The cross slide provides 17.5 inches of swing clearance with a maximum travel of 15.8 inches, while longitudinal feeds range from 0.0012 to 0.039 inches per revolution. The hardened and ground bedway and cross slide ways ensure dimensional stability and accuracy during extended production runs. Standard features include a 2 TPI leadscrew for threading capabilities spanning 1 to 42 TPI in inch and 0.2 to 14 metric pitches, automatic longitudinal feed stop bar, thread chasing dial, coolant system with pump, and full-length splash guard. Weighing 5,500 pounds and requiring 230/460-volt three-phase 60-cycle electrical service, the HD-2660 operates from a floor space of 47 by 114 inches, making it suitable for professional job shops and manufacturing environments.
