Jet 321304 GH-1440ZX Lathe 300S Dro Collet Closer

Product Description

The JET 321304 is the GH-1440ZX gap-bed engine lathe configured with the 300S digital readout (DRO) and a collet closer attachment. It is a heavy-duty metalworking lathe intended for precision turning, facing, threading, and boring operations in professional machine shops and industrial maintenance environments. The 300S DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving dimensional accuracy on repeat cuts. The included collet closer enables fast, repeatable workholding for bar stock and cylindrical parts without removing the chuck. This machine is installed and operated by machinists and millwrights in production and job-shop settings.

The GH-1440ZX lathe is suited for professional metalworking applications where consistent tolerances and versatile workholding are required. The 14-inch swing and 40-inch between-centers configuration supports a wide range of shaft, bushing, and sleeve work common in industrial maintenance, toolroom, and production turning environments. The factory-integrated DRO and collet closer make this configuration a ready-to-run package without sourcing accessories separately.
