Jet 321388 Lathe with Acu-rite 300S Dro

Product Description

The JET 321388 is a gap-bed engine lathe paired with an ACU-RITE 300S digital readout (DRO) system. It is designed for precision turning, facing, threading, and boring operations in professional machine shops and industrial facilities. The integrated DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing manual calculation and setup time on complex workpieces. This lathe is installed and operated by machinists and skilled trade professionals working in metal fabrication, maintenance, and manufacturing environments.

The JET 321388 is suited for industrial and commercial machine shop applications where accurate, repeatable metal turning is required. The GH-1660ZX platform supports a range of turning operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The ACU-RITE 300S DRO adds digital precision to manual lathe work, making it appropriate for job shops, tool rooms, and production support environments where manual CNC-assisted turning is standard practice.
