Jet 321381 Gap Bed Lathe Acu-rite 300S Dro

Product Description

The JET 321381 is a gap bed engine lathe equipped with an ACU-RITE 300S digital readout (DRO) system. It is designed for precision turning, facing, threading, and boring operations in machine shop environments. The integrated ACU-RITE 300S DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on production and job-shop work. This lathe is intended for installation and operation by trained machinists and toolroom professionals working in industrial or commercial shop settings.

The GH-1640ZX platform is suited for heavy-duty metal turning applications in commercial machine shops, toolrooms, and industrial maintenance facilities. The gap bed configuration allows for machining of larger-diameter workpieces by removing the gap section near the chuck. The factory-integrated ACU-RITE 300S DRO eliminates the need for a field retrofit, making this unit ready for precise work from initial setup.
