Jet 321123 Geared Head Bench Lathe Acu-rite 200S Dro

Product Description

The JET 321123 is a geared head bench lathe configured with an ACU-RITE 200S digital readout (DRO) and a taper attachment, delivered as a fully integrated unit. The GHB-1340A platform is a manual metalworking lathe intended for precision turning, facing, threading, and taper operations in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial training environments. The factory-installed ACU-RITE 200S DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving dimensional accuracy. The included taper attachment extends the machine's capability to cut external and internal tapers without offsetting the tailstock. At 1215 pounds, this is a floor-standing production-class machine requiring proper rigging and a prepared foundation.

The GHB-1340A lathe is suited for professional machine shops, tool-and-die operations, maintenance and repair facilities, and vocational or industrial training programs. The combination of a geared headstock, factory-mounted DRO, and taper attachment makes this configuration appropriate for shops that require versatile manual turning capability with precision position feedback from day one. Installation is performed by millwrights or qualified machine tool technicians. This unit ships as a single assembly and is not intended for light-duty or hobbyist use.

Key Features

• Factory-installed ACU-RITE 200S DRO provides real-time axis position readout for improved accuracy and reduced layout time
• Taper attachment installed at the factory, ready for external and internal taper cutting without tailstock offset
• Geared headstock design delivers consistent torque across speed ranges for turning, threading, and facing operations
• Heavy cast iron construction at 1215 pounds provides machine stability and vibration damping during cuts
• Delivered as a complete, integrated unit reducing field assembly and commissioning time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured metalworking lathe assembly. Specific tooling, chuck, and accessory compatibility should be verified against the GHB-1340A spindle specifications and the ACU-RITE 200S encoder interface documentation.

Installation Notes

At 1215 pounds, this machine requires certified rigging equipment and a forklift or overhead crane rated for the load. Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or machine tool technician on a level, reinforced concrete floor. Electrical connection must comply with local codes and the machine's nameplate voltage and amperage requirements — confirm service voltage before wiring. Power down and lock out the main disconnect before making any adjustments to the DRO wiring, taper attachment, or spindle components.
