Jet 321303 GH-1440ZX Lathe 300S Dro Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321303 is the GH-1440ZX geared-head engine lathe bundled with the 300S digital readout (DRO) and a taper attachment. This combination gives machinists a full-featured manual turning setup with precision position feedback built in from the start. The 300S DRO tracks axis position in real time, reducing setup time and measurement errors on repetitive turning operations. The taper attachment extends the machine's capability to cut external and internal tapers without offsetting the tailstock. This lathe is intended for professional machine shops, tool rooms, and industrial maintenance environments where precision turning on steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials is routine work.

The GH-1440ZX configuration suits tool-room and production environments that require consistent, repeatable results on shafts, bushings, flanges, and similar turned components. The integrated DRO package is particularly useful in job-shop settings where multiple operators share the machine and setup documentation matters. The taper attachment is well suited to work involving Morse-taper shanks, internal bores, or any application requiring a consistent angle over the length of a cut without manual offsetting.

Key Features

• GH-1440ZX geared-head engine lathe configuration for heavy-duty turning work
• Bundled 300S digital readout provides real-time axis position feedback
• Taper attachment included for cutting accurate tapers without tailstock offset
• Robust cast-iron construction supports stability during heavy interrupted cuts
• Complete package reduces sourcing and integration time versus separate component purchases

Compatibility

Designed as a matched OEM package for the JET GH-1440ZX engine lathe; the 300S DRO and taper attachment are factory-paired to this machine model.

Installation Notes

Installation and commissioning of a geared-head engine lathe of this size should be performed by qualified millwrights or machine-tool technicians. The machine must be leveled on a suitable concrete foundation and anchored per the manufacturer's installation manual before operation. Electrical connection should be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for the voltage and phase configuration of the unit. Verify all axis gibs, saddle locks, and DRO scale mounts are properly adjusted before taking the first cut.
