Jet 321382 Geared Head Lathe 300S Dro Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321382 is a geared head engine lathe configured with a 300S digital readout (DRO) and a taper attachment, designed for precision metal turning in professional machine shop environments. The integrated DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on diameter and length cuts. The taper attachment extends the machine's capability to cut accurate external and internal tapers without offsetting the tailstock. This lathe is intended for installation and operation by experienced machinists and shop technicians working in industrial or trade settings.

The GH-1640ZX platform is suited for general-purpose turning, facing, threading, and taper work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The combination of a geared head drive and a 300S DRO makes this configuration appropriate for production shops, toolrooms, and vocational training facilities where dimensional accuracy and machine versatility are required. The taper attachment allows repeatable taper cuts to be dialed in without disturbing the tailstock alignment, which is a practical advantage in high-mix, low-volume work.

Installation Notes

Installation and leveling of a lathe this size requires qualified millwrights or experienced machine tool technicians and appropriate lifting equipment rated for the machine weight. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the area before making electrical connections. Anchor the machine to the floor per the manufacturer's installation instructions and applicable local codes before operation. Do not attempt to move or position the machine without proper rigging and personnel trained in heavy machinery handling.
