90mm diameter x 289mm long steel drive shafts. Batched out over the weekend with zero fuss.

The King Rich KR-TC320MY's 32kW spindle and hardened box way slides are built for this kind of work: substantial components, heavy cuts, and consistent results part after part.

Set it up, let it run, come back to finished parts. That's what a well-sorted turning centre looks like in practice.

200 steel actuator blocks from 60mm diameter bar. One 16mm long series endmill did the lot, cutting 46mm deep.

That's what happens when you match quality tooling with a rigid machine. The King Rich KR-TC320MY's box way construction and 32kW spindle keep everything stable, even on aggressive milling passes from bar stock.

The coolant is flowing, the chips are flying, and the tool life tells the story.

A bit of an unusual one. These 316 stainless steel parts are part of a clamping assembly that holds a stainless strap together. Small, detailed, and done in a single operation.

The King Rich KR-TC320MY makes light work of jobs like this. One op, parts complete, and straight into the bin ready for assembly.

Not every job on a mill-turn has to be complex. Sometimes it's about doing simple jobs faster, with fewer touches.

200 steel actuator blocks. Off the machine complete and unmanned. Ready for plating.

Parts like these used to take multiple operations across a milling machine. Now they come off a King Rich KR-TC320MY mill-turn in one hit, with live tooling, Y-axis, and C-axis doing the heavy lifting.

That's the real value of a capable turning centre: fewer setups, fewer handling steps, and parts ready for the next process straight off the machine.

First job of the day, done. A batch of large steel fasteners, freshly turned and looking sharp.

The King Rich KR-L480's rigid gap bed design provides the stability needed for heavier cuts on substantial components. With 480mm swing over bed and a 10HP spindle, it keeps things smooth and controlled without putting up a fight.

When the setup is right and the machine has the backbone for the job, parts like these come out clean and consistent, batch after batch.

This view never gets old.

A clean floor, good lighting, machines lined up and ready to go. That's what a well-run shop looks like on a Monday morning.

Whether you're running two machines or twenty, the goal is the same: uptime, accuracy, and a floor layout that keeps work flowing.

What does your Monday morning view look like?

Here's a job you don't see every day: commutator skimming on an 800kW DC motor armature, with the King Rich L780 CNC Lathe.

The commutator is made up of copper segments where the armature windings connect. Carbon brushes run across the surface, and over time it wears unevenly. Think of it like the difference between a cobbled street and a racetrack. A smooth finish is everything.

The process involves skimming the surface to remove irregularities, undercutting the mica insulation below the copper, and chamfering each segment. Getting it right means measuring total indicated runout (TIR). The standard here is under 20 microns. This one came in at 6 microns.

Precision turning at its finest. Whether it's production parts or specialist refurbishment work, a rigid, accurate lathe is the backbone of the operation.

When the material doesn't come in large enough diameter bar, you work with plate. And when you're working with plate, the right workholding setup makes all the difference.

Here's a workholding vice setup on a King Rich TC320MY turning centre, running batch production of cylindrical parts from flat plate stock.

Smart fixturing turns a material limitation into a production advantage.

This is the kind of work the King Rich KR-ME750 VMC handles without missing a beat.

Pair quality tooling with a rigid machine platform, and you get results like this: perfect chips, zero drama, and tooling that lasts the full run.
