Kingston’s versatile CL38 model is designed for universal workpieces in a variety of industries, including energy, mining, textile, paper, and transportation. The CL38 features 26” swing, a choice of 4.7” or 7.3” bore, and lengths from 40” – 160″. It is equipped with a powerful 30 HP spindle motor, a sub-spindle tailstock ready to mount a chuck, and both V8 and H6 servo turrets – with a maximum cutting diameter of 14.5” between turrets. This flexibility and ease of use make the CL38 one of our most popular CNC models.
