Why This Machine Matters
Smaller lathes:
- Lack rigidity for large parts
- Struggle with heavy cuts
- Lose accuracy under load
The Kingston HR solves this with:
- Heavy construction and wide bedways
- High horsepower for demanding work
- Stable spindle support system
π This means better surface finish, less vibration, and improved productivity.
When to Use This Lathe
- When machining large diameter parts
- When working with long shafts or components
- When high torque is required
- When upgrading from a mid-size lathe
