Jet 321138 Engine Lathe with Newall C80 Dro

Product Description

The JET 321138 is a heavy-duty engine lathe with a Newall C80 digital readout (DRO) system installed at the factory. The C80 DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing manual calculation and improving repeatability on precision turning, facing, and threading operations. At 6000 pounds, this is a floor-mounted industrial machine intended for professional machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance departments. The GH-1640ZX platform is a geared-head lathe designed for high-torque, variable-speed metalworking. Installation of the DRO at the factory means the system arrives pre-wired and pre-calibrated to the machine axes.

The GH-1640ZX is suited for production and toolroom environments handling ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Typical applications include shaft turning, bore finishing, taper work, and thread cutting. The integrated Newall C80 DRO is appropriate for shops where dimensional accuracy and process repeatability are required on medium-to-large diameter workpieces. This machine is intended for professional machinists and industrial maintenance technicians, not light-duty or hobbyist use.

Key Features

• Factory-installed Newall C80 DRO provides pre-calibrated real-time axis position readout
• Geared-head spindle drive delivers high-torque output across speed ranges
• Robust cast iron construction supports heavy-duty turning operations
• Substantial 6000-pound machine mass reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Industrial floor-mount configuration suitable for permanent shop installation

Compatibility

Designed as a self-contained engine lathe platform. The Newall C80 DRO is factory-fitted to the JET GH-1640ZX lathe and is not offered as a standalone retrofit in this configuration.

Installation Notes

A machine of this weight requires a level concrete floor and appropriate rigging equipment for placement. Electrical connection must be performed by a licensed electrician and should conform to applicable NEC requirements for the machine nameplate voltage and amperage. Verify that the floor loading capacity meets or exceeds the machine weight before positioning. Power down and lock out the main disconnect before performing any service, tooling changes, or DRO wiring inspection.
