Jet 321494 Lathe Collet Closer Newall C80 Dro

Product Description

The JET 321494 is a heavy-duty gap-bed engine lathe configured with a NEWALL C80 digital readout and a collet closer assembly. Designed for precision metal turning, this machine is built for production and toolroom environments where accurate, repeatable cuts are required. At 6,942 pounds, the rigid cast-iron construction absorbs vibration and supports sustained heavy-stock removal. The integrated NEWALL C80 DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving dimensional accuracy across long production runs. The collet closer adds workholding flexibility for bar-stock and repeat-part operations. This lathe is intended for installation and operation by qualified machinists and industrial equipment technicians.

The GH-1640ZX platform is a geared-head lathe suited for metalworking shops, maintenance facilities, and production floors requiring a full-size manual lathe with modern readout capability. The 16-inch swing and 40-inch bed length (as indicated by the model designation) accommodate a wide range of shaft, sleeve, and cylindrical workpiece geometries. The NEWALL C80 DRO is a two-axis readout well regarded in toolroom applications for its durability and ease of use. The collet closer enables fast, repeatable workpiece clamping without a chuck change, making this configuration practical for high-mix short-run work.

Key Features

• NEWALL C80 two-axis digital readout included for real-time position feedback
• Collet closer assembly included for fast, repeatable bar-stock workholding
• Geared-head spindle drive provides multiple speed ranges without belt changes
• Heavy cast-iron construction at 6,942 pounds for vibration damping and rigidity
• Gap-bed design accommodates larger-diameter facing operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured manual engine lathe for metalworking, toolroom, and production shop installations. No additional compatible model numbers or replacement part numbers were specified in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation of a machine this size requires a qualified millwright or industrial equipment rigger using appropriate lifting equipment rated for the 6,942-pound load. A reinforced concrete floor pad and proper leveling with machinist levels and grout are standard practice before commissioning. Electrical connection must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the supply voltage and amperage of the machine. Do not operate the lathe until all guards are in place, the DRO is calibrated, and the collet closer has been verified for correct drawbar engagement.
