KINGSTON HP-34280 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Kingston HP-34280 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for demanding oil field and hollow spindle applications. This machine features a 34-inch swing capacity with an impressive 279.9-inch center-to-center distance, accommodating extended workpieces and complex machining operations. The 7.13-inch spindle bore provides substantial through-hole capability for hollow spindle work, enabling efficient chip evacuation and coolant delivery. Powered by a robust 30 HP motor with Mitsubishi inverter drive technology, the HP-34280 delivers consistent torque across its operational range up to 700 RPM. The spindle is constructed from hardened and ground alloy steel, supported by precision taper roller bearings that ensure rigid alignment and superior accuracy during heavy-duty cutting operations. The machine features a 25.1-inch swing over the cross slide, providing adequate clearance for complex turned components and reducing setup times. The HP-34280 incorporates a hydraulic brake system for controlled spindle deceleration and enhanced operator safety. Its manual operation design allows skilled machinists to optimize cutting parameters in real-time, making it ideal for specialized applications requiring adaptive machining strategies. The A2-20 spindle nose accommodates various chuck configurations for flexibility across different job requirements. Kingston's engineering emphasizes maximum loading capacity and torque delivery, positioning the HP-34280 as a reliable workhorse for heavy-duty turning, boring, and facing operations in oil field component manufacturing and precision hollow spindle work.
