Jet 321484 Geared Head Lathe 2-axis Acu-rite Dro 200S

Product Description

The JET 321484 is a geared head engine lathe with a factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE DRO 200S digital readout system. Built for heavy-duty turning operations, this lathe is designed for machine shops, toolrooms, and industrial production environments where precision and repeatability are required. The integrated DRO 200S provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving part accuracy across repetitive cuts. At 6,700 pounds, this is a substantial floor machine intended for permanent or semi-permanent installation on a reinforced concrete pad or prepared machine shop floor.

The GH-1860ZX platform is suited for professional machinists and skilled tradespeople performing shaft turning, facing, threading, and boring operations. The 2-axis ACU-RITE DRO 200S is mounted and wired at the factory, eliminating the need for field installation of the readout system. This configuration is common in toolroom and job-shop environments where operators need immediate dimensional feedback without relying solely on graduated dials.

Key Features

• Factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE DRO 200S digital readout for real-time position feedback
• Geared head drive system for variable speed and torque control across turning operations
• Heavy machine construction at 6,700 pounds for rigidity and vibration damping during cuts
• GH-1860ZX platform designed for professional toolroom and production turning applications
• Sold individually as a single complete unit

Compatibility

Designed as a self-contained engine lathe unit. The ACU-RITE DRO 200S is factory-integrated to the GH-1860ZX lathe. No additional compatibility data was provided in the source specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation of a floor lathe of this size and weight requires rigging equipment and should be performed by qualified millwrights or machinery installation professionals. The machine must be leveled on a structurally adequate floor, typically a reinforced concrete slab, using precision machinist levels and adjustable leveling feet or mounts. Electrical connection should be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the machine nameplate voltage and amperage rating. Confirm power is fully locked out and tagged before performing any service or tooling changes after installation.
