Description

Product Overview

The Kingston HP and HPX big bore lathes are heavy-duty manual engine lathes designed for machining large diameter pipe and tubular workpieces. Featuring oversized spindle bores up to 10.1″, these machines allow material to pass through the spindle, making them ideal for oilfield and large-scale industrial applications.

Built with a rigid headstock and 22″ wide bedway, these lathes deliver the strength, stability, and accuracy required for demanding cutting operations.


Applications

  • Oilfield and pipe threading operations
  • Large shaft and tubular machining
  • Structural and industrial fabrication
  • Heavy-duty production environments

👉 These machines are widely used where large workpieces must pass through the spindle rather than being mounted externally


Key Features

  • Massive spindle bore (up to 10.1″) for large pipe work
  • 30 HP motor for high-torque cutting
  • 16 spindle speeds for versatility
  • 40 feed selections for precision control
  • 34″ or 40″ swing over bed
  • Up to 280″ between centers for long workpieces
  • Heavy-duty headstock and hardened bedways for rigidity
  • Hydraulic brake system for safety and control
  • Coolant system and industrial guarding included

Why This Machine Matters

Standard lathes:

  • Can’t handle large pipe diameters
  • Require external setups for big work
  • Lack torque for heavy cuts

The HP/HPX solves this by:

  • Letting material pass through the spindle
  • Providing extreme torque and rigidity
  • Handling long, heavy workpieces with ease

👉 This is critical for oilfield and large fabrication work.


When to Use This Lathe

  • When machining large diameter pipe or tubing
  • When doing oilfield or pipe threading work
  • When working with long, heavy parts
  • When a standard lathe cannot handle the bore size

Specifications (Typical Range)

  • Swing Over Bed: 34″ or 40″
  • Distance Between Centers: 80″–280″
  • Spindle Bore:
    • HP: 7.09″
    • HPX: 9.25″–10.1″
  • Spindle Speeds: 16 (approx. 8–700 RPM)
  • Motor: 30 HP
  • Bed Width: 22″
