Jet 321383 Gap Bed Lathe 300S Dro Collet Closer

Product Description

The JET 321383 is a heavy-duty gap bed engine lathe equipped with a 300S digital readout (DRO) and collet closer, designed for precision metal turning in professional machine shop environments. This lathe is built for skilled machinists and trade professionals who require accurate, repeatable results across a range of turning, facing, and boring operations. The integrated 300S DRO system provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving dimensional accuracy on production and repair work. The included collet closer expands workholding flexibility for bar stock and smaller-diameter parts.

The 321383 is suited for commercial and industrial machine shop use, including job shops, maintenance departments, and vocational training facilities. The gap bed design accommodates larger-diameter workpieces by allowing removal of the bed gap section, extending swing capacity as needed. This configuration makes it a practical choice for shops that handle a variety of part sizes and materials in day-to-day operations.

Installation Notes

Installation and leveling of this lathe should be performed by qualified millwrights or experienced machine tool technicians. The unit must be mounted on a suitable reinforced floor surface capable of supporting the machine weight, and precision leveling with a machinist level is required before operation. Electrical connections must comply with applicable local codes and the nameplate voltage and amperage requirements. Disconnect and lock out all power before performing any service, tooling changes, or adjustments to the collet closer or DRO system.
