Jet 321502 Lathe GH-1660ZX C80 Collet Closer Taper

Product Description

The JET 321502 is a heavy-duty engine lathe configured as the GH-1660ZX with a C80 spindle and collet closer taper. This machine is designed for precision turning, threading, and facing operations in professional machine shop environments. Weighing 6200 pounds, the unit is a full-size industrial lathe built to handle demanding production and toolroom work. The collet closer taper configuration allows operators to hold collets directly at the spindle, enabling faster workpiece changeover and improved concentricity during high-precision turning operations. Licensed machinists and skilled tradespeople are the primary installers and operators of this equipment.

The GH-1660ZX configuration is suited for industrial machine shops, manufacturing facilities, toolrooms, and vocational training environments where full-size metalworking lathes are required. The 16-inch swing and 60-inch bed length (as indicated by the model designation) support a wide range of workpiece sizes. The C80 spindle interface paired with the collet closer makes this machine well-suited for production runs requiring repeatable part holding and minimal setup time between cuts.

Installation Notes

Installation of a lathe of this weight class requires qualified rigging, a forklift or crane with adequate rated capacity, and a properly leveled, reinforced concrete floor. Power connection must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for industrial machinery. The machine must be fully leveled and anchored before operation, and all guarding must be inspected and confirmed in place prior to startup.
