Jet 321111 Bench Lathe with Collet Closer

Product Description

The JET 321111 is a bench lathe with an integrated collet closer, designed for precision metal turning applications in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and toolrooms. The BDB-1340A configuration pairs a manual lathe platform with a collet closer system, allowing operators to quickly secure and release workpieces without sacrificing concentricity. This unit is built for metalworking professionals who require consistent, repeatable results on turned components. Machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople are the primary installers and operators of this equipment.

The JET 321111 is suited for bench-top installation in professional shop environments. It is appropriate for light to medium production turning, toolmaking, and precision repair work. The collet closer attachment makes it particularly useful in applications where bar stock or cylindrical workpieces are processed in sequence, reducing setup time between operations. This lathe is intended for use in commercial and industrial settings where floor space is limited and a bench-mounted configuration is preferred over a full-size floor lathe.

Key Features

• Bench-top lathe configuration suitable for toolrooms and maintenance shops
• Integrated collet closer for fast, accurate workpiece clamping and release
• BDB-1340A platform designed for precision metal turning operations
• Compact footprint allows installation on existing workbenches or dedicated stands

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and direct-fit unit for bench lathe applications requiring a collet closer system on the BDB-1340A platform.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or millwright familiar with bench lathe commissioning. Ensure the mounting surface is level and capable of supporting the full weight of the unit before bolting down. Disconnect and lock out all power sources before performing any mechanical adjustments or tooling changes. Follow all applicable OSHA machine guarding requirements and the manufacturer's installation manual during setup.
