Jet 321148 Metal Lathe with Newall C80 Dro

Product Description

The JET 321148 is a GH-1640ZX gap-bed metal lathe equipped with a Newall C80 digital readout (DRO) system. The Newall C80 DRO provides real-time axis position feedback directly at the machine, improving accuracy and reducing setup time on repetitive turning operations. This lathe is built for professional machine shops and industrial production environments where consistent precision is required. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians install and operate this class of equipment for turning, facing, threading, and boring work on metal stock.

The JET GH-1640ZX with Newall C80 DRO is suited for heavy-duty industrial and commercial machine shop applications. The gap-bed configuration accommodates larger-diameter workpieces by allowing removal of the bed gap piece when needed. This combination of lathe and integrated DRO is a common setup in production shops, tool and die operations, and vocational training facilities where dimensional accuracy is a daily requirement.

Installation Notes

Installation of a machine tool of this size and weight requires qualified riggers and a licensed electrician for final electrical hookup. The machine must be mounted on a level, reinforced concrete floor capable of supporting the full operating weight. Disconnect and lock out all power sources before any service, adjustment, or tooling changes are performed. Refer to the manufacturer's installation manual and applicable local electrical codes before commissioning.
