Jet 321491 Engine Lathe Acu-rite 200S Dro Collet Closer

Product Description

The JET 321491 is the GH-1860ZX gap bed engine lathe configured with a factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE 200S digital readout and a collet closer. This machine is built for precision turning operations in toolrooms, maintenance shops, and production environments. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on turned diameters and facing operations. The integrated collet closer allows fast, repeatable workholding without manual chuck changes. At 6,275 pounds, this is a heavy-duty floor machine intended for professional installation.

The GH-1860ZX configuration targets metalworking shops requiring a full-size engine lathe with an 18-inch swing over the bed and 60-inch center-to-center capacity. It is suited for toolroom work, repair machining, and custom part production in industrial and commercial settings. The gap bed design accommodates larger-diameter workpieces when the gap section is removed. This lathe is installed and operated by journeyman machinists and tool and die professionals.

Installation Notes

Installation of this machine requires a licensed rigger or millwright and a properly rated concrete floor capable of supporting the 6,275-pound load. The lathe must be leveled on precision machinist leveling pads or mounts before operation. All electrical connections should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for the machine voltage and phase rating. Disconnect and lock out all power before performing any service, tooling changes, or adjustments to the collet closer or DRO components.
