Jet 321302 Gap Bed Engine Lathe with Dro

Product Description

The JET 321302 is a gap bed engine lathe equipped with a 300S digital readout (DRO) and a taper attachment collet closer system. Designed for precision metal turning, threading, and facing operations, this lathe is intended for professional machine shops, tool rooms, and industrial maintenance environments. The integrated DRO provides real-time axis position readout, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on close-tolerance work. The collet closer allows fast, accurate workholding for bar stock and repetitive production runs. This machine is installed and operated by skilled machinists and industrial maintenance professionals.

The JET 321302 is suited for medium to heavy-duty turning applications in professional shop environments. The gap bed configuration provides clearance for larger-diameter workpieces when the gap section is removed. The 300S DRO system supports precise longitudinal and cross-slide positioning. The taper attachment collet closer adds versatility for repetitive chucking tasks. This lathe is appropriate for tool rooms, job shops, and industrial facilities requiring a full-featured manual engine lathe with electronic positioning support.

Key Features

• Gap bed design allows machining of larger-diameter workpieces with gap section removed
• 300S digital readout (DRO) provides real-time axis positioning for accurate, repeatable cuts
• Taper attachment collet closer included for efficient bar stock and repetitive workholding
• Heavy-duty construction rated at 5,350 pounds for stability and vibration damping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured machine unit. The 321302 is the specific JET GH-1440ZX model package bundled with the 300S DRO and taper attachment collet closer. Confirm that the machine footprint, power supply, and floor loading capacity meet site requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified millwrights or industrial electricians familiar with machine tool commissioning. Verify that the installation site floor is rated to support a machine weight of 5,350 pounds, and use appropriate rigging equipment during placement. Electrical connection must comply with local codes and the machine nameplate voltage and amperage requirements before powering on. Level the lathe bed carefully using precision levels and adjustable leveling feet before making any test cuts.
