Jet 321115 GHB-1340A Bench Lathe with C80 Tak

Product Description

The JET 321115 is a bench lathe configured as the GHB-1340A with a C80 taper attachment kit (TAK) included. A bench lathe performs precision turning, facing, threading, and boring operations on metal workstock. The GHB-1340A mounts to a work surface or dedicated stand and is sized for shop environments where floor space is limited but full machining capability is required. The included C80 taper attachment expands the machine's capability by allowing the operator to turn accurate tapers without offsetting the tailstock. This unit is intended for installation and operation by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and skilled trade technicians in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair settings.

The GHB-1340A bench lathe with C80 taper attachment is suited for metal fabrication shops, maintenance repair operations (MRO), and trade school or apprenticeship environments. The taper attachment kit makes this configuration appropriate for applications requiring consistent angled cuts across production runs. At 1275 pounds, this machine is a substantial piece of capital equipment requiring proper rigging, a reinforced bench or stand rated for the load, and level floor conditions for accurate operation.

Key Features

• GHB-1340A bench lathe configuration for precision turning, threading, and boring
• C80 taper attachment kit included for accurate taper turning without tailstock offset
• Substantial cast construction at 1275 pounds supports rigidity and vibration damping during cuts
• Bench-mount footprint designed for shops where floor lathe footprint is not practical
• Sold as a single complete unit (UOM: Each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-matched configuration for the JET GHB-1340A bench lathe platform with the C80 taper attachment. Consult JET documentation to confirm stand, chuck, and tooling compatibility with this model designation before ordering accessories.

Installation Notes

Installation of a bench lathe of this weight requires proper rigging equipment and at minimum two qualified personnel. The mounting surface or lathe stand must be rated to support loads exceeding 1275 pounds and the machine must be leveled using a precision machinist level before operation. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power at the panel before making any wiring connections; electrical installation should comply with NEC requirements for the supply voltage and amperage of the machine. Refer to the JET installation manual for fastener patterns, leveling procedure, and pre-operation lubrication requirements.
