Jet 321452 Lathe with C80 Dro Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321452 is the GH1860-ZX geared-head gap-bed lathe configured with a C80 digital readout (DRO) and taper attachment. Built for precision turning operations in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial production environments, this lathe delivers the mechanical repeatability and measurement feedback that machinists depend on for tight-tolerance work. At 6,295 pounds, the cast-iron construction provides the mass and rigidity needed to minimize vibration during heavy cuts. The integrated C80 DRO gives operators real-time axis position readout, reducing setup time and improving dimensional consistency across runs. The taper attachment extends the machine's capability to turn external and internal tapers without offsetting the tailstock.

The GH1860-ZX configuration is suited for job shops, toolrooms, and industrial maintenance departments handling shaft work, sleeve turning, threading, and facing operations. The 18-inch swing and 60-inch bed length accommodate a wide range of workpiece sizes. The taper attachment is particularly useful in production and repair settings where repeatable taper angles are required on multiple parts. This machine is installed and operated by qualified machinists and industrial maintenance technicians.

Key Features

• C80 DRO included for real-time axis position readout during turning operations
• Taper attachment allows repeatable taper turning without tailstock offset
• Geared-head design provides multiple spindle speed ranges for varied materials and cut types
• Gap-bed configuration accommodates larger-diameter workpieces over the gap section
• Heavy cast-iron construction at 6,295 pounds supports vibration-damping during cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured unit specific to the JET GH1860-ZX lathe platform with factory-installed C80 DRO and taper attachment. Consult JET documentation for compatible tooling, chuck, and accessory fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation of a machine at this weight class requires a forklift or overhead crane and a reinforced concrete floor capable of supporting concentrated loads. Leveling feet or a precision-machined pad should be used to bring the bed into alignment before commissioning. Electrical connection must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the voltage and phase configuration of the specific unit. Power must be fully locked out and tagged before any service, tooling changes, or adjustments to the taper attachment or DRO components.
