Jet 321119 Lathe with Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321119 is a gear-head bench lathe supplied with a taper attachment factory-installed, ready for taper-turning operations straight out of the crate. Designed for machine shops, maintenance facilities, and skilled tradespeople who need precise cylindrical and taper work, this unit ships as a complete assembly at 1285 pounds. The integrated taper attachment expands the machine's capability without requiring a separate retrofit, making it suitable for shops that need repeatable taper cuts on shafts, spindles, and tooling components. Licensed machinists and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers and operators of this equipment.

The GHB-1340A-TAK configuration is built for professional metalworking environments including manufacturing facilities, maintenance shops, and trade training programs. The factory-installed taper attachment is designed to work in concert with the lathe's lead screw and carriage system, allowing angular cuts without offsetting the tailstock. This unit is sold individually and is appropriate for shops requiring a production-capable gear-head lathe with taper-turning functionality already integrated at delivery.

Key Features

• Taper attachment factory-installed — no field retrofit required
• Gear-head drive system for variable speed and torque across a range of turning operations
• Substantial machine mass at 1285 pounds supports rigidity and vibration damping during cuts
• Sold as a complete unit — one SKU covers lathe and taper attachment together
• Suited for shaft turning, facing, boring, and taper work in a single setup

Compatibility

Designed as a self-contained metalworking lathe unit; the taper attachment is matched specifically to the GHB-1340A platform and is not interchangeable with other lathe models.

Installation Notes

Installation and commissioning of a lathe this size requires rigging equipment rated for loads exceeding 1285 pounds and a level, reinforced floor surface. Power connections must be completed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the machine's rated voltage and phase. Verify all gibs, locks, and attachment fasteners are confirmed tight before powering the unit for the first time. Do not attempt to move or reposition the machine without proper rigging — tipping risk is significant at this weight class.
