KINGSTON HP-40120 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Kingston HP-40120 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for superior power and precision on large, long workpieces. This machine features a robust 7.09-inch spindle bore with a 40-inch swing capacity and 120-inch center-to-center distance, accommodating extensive machining operations. The lathe is powered by a 30 horsepower spindle motor—50% stronger than Kingston's HR model—with a maximum spindle speed of 700 RPM, delivering exceptional cutting performance for demanding applications. The hardened-and-ground alloy steel spindle incorporates two precision taper roller bearings and an A2-15 spindle nose with rear chuck adapter, ensuring stability and repeatability. The swing over cross slide measures 31 inches, providing ample clearance for complex workpiece configurations. The gearbox incorporates 40 feed changes with change gears that enable the operator to cut imperial, metric, module, and diametrical pitch threads, offering comprehensive threading versatility. Designed for rigidity and reliability, this lathe is ideal for heavy production work, large component manufacturing, and specialized machining tasks requiring substantial power and precision. The machine's loading capacity is nearly twice that of smaller bore models, making it suitable for high-production environments, job shops, and facilities requiring robust performance on substantial workpieces.
