Jet 321469 Geared Head Lathe 2-axis Dro

Product Description

The JET 321469 is a geared head gap bed engine lathe equipped with a factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE DRO 200S digital readout system. Designed for precision turning operations in professional machine shops and industrial maintenance environments, this lathe combines a robust cast iron construction with a full-featured digital readout for repeatable, accurate cuts. The DRO 200S provides real-time axis positioning, reducing setup time and operator error on production and repair work. Installation of the DRO at the factory ensures proper integration with the machine's carriage and cross-slide travel.

The JET 321469 is suited for professional machinists and industrial maintenance technicians performing turning, facing, boring, and threading operations. The gap bed design accommodates larger-diameter workpieces when the gap piece is removed. This lathe is typically found in job shops, toolrooms, and maintenance facilities where consistent, high-accuracy metal turning is required on a daily production basis.

Key Features

• Factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE DRO 200S digital readout for real-time carriage and cross-slide positioning
• Geared head spindle drive provides multiple speed ranges without belt changes
• Gap bed configuration allows machining of larger-diameter workpieces
• Heavy cast iron construction reduces vibration and supports tight tolerances
• Integrated DRO eliminates post-purchase mounting and calibration work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured replacement or direct-purchase unit for professional engine lathe applications requiring factory-integrated digital readout on a geared head gap bed platform.

Installation Notes

Installation and commissioning of this lathe should be performed by qualified millwrights or industrial machinery technicians. Ensure the mounting surface is level and rigid before anchoring the base. Electrical connection must comply with local codes and the machine's nameplate voltage and amperage requirements — confirm service panel capacity before energizing. Do not operate without all guards in place and verify DRO axis calibration against a known reference before production use.
