Jet 321463 Lathe with Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321463 is a heavy-duty engine lathe supplied with a taper attachment already installed, ready for production use straight from the crate. Designed for machine shops and industrial facilities, this lathe handles precision turning, facing, and taper work without requiring a separate field installation of the taper attachment. At 6,700 pounds, the machine carries the mass and rigidity expected of a serious floor-standing lathe. It is sold and serviced by qualified machine tool technicians and industrial maintenance personnel.

This lathe is suited for metalworking operations in commercial machine shops, manufacturing facilities, toolrooms, and vocational training environments. The included taper attachment extends the machine's capability to cut accurate tapers without offsetting the tailstock, making it well-suited for production runs and precision part work. The GH-1860ZX-TAK designation indicates an 18-inch swing and 60-inch bed configuration with the taper attachment as part of the factory build.

Key Features

• Taper attachment installed at factory — no field retrofit required
• Heavy cast iron construction supports rigidity and vibration damping during cuts
• 18-inch swing over bed with 60-inch center distance per model designation
• Floor-standing industrial configuration rated for commercial machine shop use
• Ships as a single unit at 6,700 pounds — requires appropriate rigging and lifting equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a standalone industrial floor lathe in the JET GH-1860ZX-TAK product line. Taper attachment is factory-installed and matched to this specific machine configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation and commissioning of a floor lathe of this size must be performed by qualified machine tool technicians using appropriate rigging, lifting equipment, and a forklift or crane rated for loads exceeding 6,700 pounds. The machine must be leveled on a suitable concrete floor using precision machinist levels and adjustable feet or shims before any cutting operations begin. Disconnect and lock out all power before making any electrical connections, and verify that the incoming supply voltage matches the machine nameplate rating. Local electrical codes and OSHA machine guarding requirements apply.
