Jet 321121 Bench Lathe Acu-rite 200S Dro

Product Description

The JET 321121 is the BDB-1340A bench lathe configured with an ACU-RITE 200S digital readout (DRO) system factory-installed. This combination delivers a precision manual turning platform with real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on diameter and length dimensions. The unit is designed for machine shops, vocational training environments, and industrial maintenance departments where accurate metal turning, facing, threading, and boring operations are performed by skilled machinists. At 1,263 pounds, this is a full-weight floor-capable bench lathe requiring proper rigging and a reinforced mounting surface before operation.

The BDB-1340A platform is suited for general-purpose metal turning in light industrial and precision maintenance applications. The integrated ACU-RITE 200S DRO provides digital axis position readout, replacing manual dial interpretation and supporting tighter tolerance work. This configuration is appropriate for job shops, toolrooms, and apprenticeship or trade training programs where a combined machine-and-DRO setup reduces installation lead time and ensures the readout is properly calibrated to the machine from the factory.

Key Features

• Factory-installed ACU-RITE 200S DRO eliminates field installation and calibration of the readout system
• BDB-1340A lathe base provides a rigid cast platform for turning, facing, threading, and boring operations
• Digital readout supports repeatable setups and tighter dimensional tolerances versus manual dial reading
• Ships as a complete, ready-to-commission unit — machine and DRO arrive integrated
• Heavy-duty construction at 1,263 pounds supports stable cutting under load

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured replacement or new-installation unit for shops requiring a manual bench lathe with an integrated digital readout system. Specific cross-compatibility with other machines or DRO retrofit kits is not indicated in available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified millwright or machinist familiar with heavy machine tool rigging. The unit weighs 1,263 pounds and requires appropriate lifting equipment, such as a forklift or overhead crane with rated slings, for safe placement. The lathe should be mounted to a level, rigid surface and leveled with precision machinist levels before commissioning. Disconnect all power sources before performing any electrical connections to the DRO or motor controls, and verify local electrical code compliance prior to energizing the unit.
