Jet 321455 Geared Head Lathe 2-axis Dro 200S 16x60

Product Description

The JET 321455 is a geared head gap-bed engine lathe equipped with a factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE DRO 200S digital readout system. Built for production turning and precision machining work, this lathe delivers the rigidity and control that professional machinists and tool-room operators expect. The integrated DRO system allows operators to monitor axis position in real time, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on turned parts. At 6,200 pounds, this is a floor-mount machine intended for industrial or heavy trade shop environments and requires professional millwrights or experienced machine installation crews for placement and leveling.

The GH-1660ZX platform is suited to heavy-duty turning applications in manufacturing facilities, maintenance shops, vocational training centers, and industrial job shops. The 16-inch swing and 60-inch bed length accommodate a wide range of shaft, sleeve, and cylindrical workpiece sizes. The pre-installed ACU-RITE DRO 200S eliminates the need for separate DRO sourcing and field installation, delivering a calibrated, ready-to-use system directly from the factory.
