Jet 321507 Gap Bed Lathe Acu-rite 200S Dro Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321507 is a GH-1440ZX gap bed engine lathe configured with an ACU-RITE 200S digital readout (DRO) and a taper attachment installed at the factory. This is a full-size metalworking lathe intended for machine shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial production environments. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on turned diameters, shoulders, and facing operations. The taper attachment enables precise taper turning without offsetting the tailstock, preserving center alignment. At 5,700 pounds, this is a heavy-duty floor machine requiring appropriate rigging and a prepared foundation before installation.

The GH-1440ZX platform is a geared-head lathe suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal turning in both job shop and production settings. The included taper attachment is factory-installed, meaning the unit arrives ready for taper operations without field modification. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO is a widely recognized two-axis readout system used across manual machine tools in professional metalworking environments. This configuration is sold as a complete, ready-to-run package.
