Jet 321301 Lathe with Acu-rite 300S Dro

Product Description

The JET 321301 is a heavy-duty gap-bed engine lathe paired with an ACU-RITE 300S digital readout (DRO) system, designed for precision turning operations in industrial and professional machine shop environments. Weighing 5,350 pounds, this unit is a substantial floor-standing machine intended for high-accuracy metal turning, facing, threading, and boring work. The integrated ACU-RITE 300S DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving repeatability across production runs. Installation and commissioning are typically performed by qualified millwrights or machine tool technicians.

The GH-1440ZX configuration is suited for professional machine shops, toolrooms, vocational training facilities, and industrial maintenance departments requiring a full-featured engine lathe with built-in digital readout capability. The ACU-RITE 300S DRO is factory-integrated, making this a ready-to-run package without the need for a separate DRO retrofit. Typical applications include precision shaft turning, threading, and general-purpose metal removal in both job-shop and production environments.

Installation Notes

Installation of a machine tool of this size and weight requires a qualified millwright or machine tool technician and appropriate lifting equipment rated for at least 5,350 pounds. The lathe must be mounted on a level, reinforced concrete floor and properly anchored before operation. All electrical connections should be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for the voltage and phase configuration of the unit. Power must be fully locked out and tagged out before performing any service, tooling changes, or adjustments to the machine.
