Jet 321492 GH-1880ZX Lathe Acu-rite Dro 200S Collet Closer

Product Description

The JET 321492 is the GH-1880ZX geared-head engine lathe configured with a factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE DRO 200S digital readout and collet closer. Designed for metalworking professionals and industrial machine shops, this lathe combines manual turning capability with digital position feedback for repeatable, accurate work. The ACU-RITE DRO 200S provides real-time axis positioning, reducing setup time and improving part consistency. The integrated collet closer adds workholding versatility without requiring a separate attachment. At 6,625 pounds, this is a heavy-duty floor machine intended for permanent installation in a production or job-shop environment.

The GH-1880ZX lathe is suited for general-purpose turning, facing, threading, and boring operations in industrial and commercial machine shop settings. The 18-inch swing and 80-inch between-centers capacity accommodate a wide range of workpiece sizes. The pre-installed DRO and collet closer make this configuration ready for production use upon installation, eliminating field retrofitting of those accessories. Typical end users include tool-and-die shops, manufacturing facilities, and vocational training programs requiring a full-featured manual lathe.

Installation Notes

Installation of this machine requires a licensed electrician to establish the appropriate three-phase power connection in accordance with NEC requirements. The machine must be leveled on a reinforced concrete floor using precision leveling pads or anchor bolts rated for its 6,625-pound operating weight. All electrical and mechanical connections should be verified before initial power-up. Commissioning should be performed by a qualified machine tool technician.
