Jet 321442 Taper Attachment Ghb Bdb Lathes

Product Description

The JET 321442 is a taper attachment designed for use with JET GHB and BDB series metal lathes. It mounts to the lathe bed and guides the cross-slide to cut precise taper angles without repositioning the tailstock or offsetting the workpiece. This accessory extends the capability of compatible JET lathes, allowing machinists and tool-room operators to produce consistent tapered bores, shafts, and mating surfaces in a production or job-shop environment. The unit ships as a single assembly and weighs 38.3 pounds, indicating a robust cast and machined construction suited for repetitive industrial use.

The 321442 taper attachment is intended for installation on JET GHB and BDB model lathes. It is a shop-floor accessory typically installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or toolroom personnel who require taper-turning capability beyond standard straight turning. It is suited for both light production runs and one-off precision work on ferrous and non-ferrous stock.
