Description
Product Overview
The Kingston KMT-5V is a heavy-duty vertical milling machine designed for demanding machining and production environments. With a 10″ × 50″ table, powerful 5 HP motor, and NT40 spindle, it delivers superior cutting capability and rigidity compared to standard knee mills.
Built with Meehanite castings, box ways, and precision spindle components, the KMT-5V is engineered for long-term durability and high-performance machining.
Applications
- Production machining
- Heavy-duty milling operations
- Toolrooms and machine shops
- Fabrication requiring aggressive cutting
👉 Ideal for shops that need maximum power and rigidity in a manual mill
Key Features
- 10″ × 50″ hardened and ground table
- 5 HP motor for high material removal rates
- NT40 spindle taper for larger tooling and rigidity
- Variable speed head (60–4200 RPM)
- Square/box ways on Y and Z axes for heavy cutting
- Meehanite cast iron construction for stability
- Turcite-B coated sliding surfaces for smooth movement
- Class 7 precision spindle bearings for accuracy
- Maximum spindle runout approx. 0.0002″
- Heavy-duty saddle support across full table width
- Dual locking system on knee, saddle, table, and ram
Why This Machine Matters
Standard knee mills (3 HP, R8):
- Limited power
- Smaller tooling
- Less rigidity
The KMT-5V solves this by:
- Increasing power to 5 HP for aggressive cutting
- Using NT40 spindle for larger, more rigid tooling
- Adding box ways for maximum stability
👉 This is a true production-capable manual milling machine
When to Use This Machine
- Heavy material removal
- Machining large or tough materials
- Production environments
- Shops needing maximum rigidity and power
