Jet 321475 Gearhead Lathe 2-axis Acu-rite Dro 200S

Product Description

The JET 321475 is a gearhead engine lathe equipped with a factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE DRO 200S digital readout system. It is designed for precision metalworking operations including turning, facing, threading, and boring. The integrated DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing measurement errors and speeding up repetitive operations. At 6,000 pounds, this is a heavy-duty floor machine built for production and job-shop environments. Installation and commissioning are typically handled by millwrights or experienced machine tool technicians.

The GH-1640ZX platform is a geared-head lathe suited for industrial and vocational metalworking shops. The 2-axis ACU-RITE DRO 200S comes pre-installed at the factory, eliminating the need for field retrofit of the digital readout. This configuration is common in machine shops requiring consistent, repeatable dimensional control on turned parts. The lathe is appropriate for both production runs and one-off custom machining work in metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair operations.

Key Features

• Factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE DRO 200S digital readout for real-time position feedback
• Gearhead drive system provides broad spindle speed range without belt changes
• Heavy-duty construction at 6,000 pounds for rigidity and vibration damping during cuts
• GH-1640ZX platform designed for industrial and job-shop metalworking applications
• Sold as a complete, ready-to-install machine unit

Compatibility

The 321475 is the ACU-RITE DRO 200S-equipped variant of the JET GH-1640ZX gearhead lathe. Accessories and tooling compatible with the GH-1640ZX lathe platform are applicable to this configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation of a machine tool of this weight requires proper rigging, a level concrete floor capable of supporting the load, and anchor bolting per the manufacturer's installation manual. Electrical connection should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the specified voltage and phase. Power must be fully locked out and tagged out before any service, tooling changes, or DRO maintenance is performed. Consult the JET GH-1640ZX operator manual for leveling procedure, lubrication schedule, and spindle break-in requirements prior to first use.
