Jet 321520 Taper Attachment W Series Lathes

Product Description

The JET 321520 is a taper attachment designed for use with JET W Series metal lathes. Taper attachments allow a lathe operator to cut precise tapered profiles on a workpiece without offsetting the tailstock or adjusting compound slide angles. The attachment mounts to the lathe bed and guides the cross-slide along a set angle, producing consistent, repeatable tapers across multiple parts. At 39 pounds, this is a robust accessory suited for machine shops and maintenance facilities where accurate taper turning is a regular production requirement.

This attachment is compatible with JET W Series lathe models as specified by the manufacturer. It is used in metal turning applications where tapered shafts, tooling shanks, or precision-fit components must be produced to a defined angle. The 321520 is typically installed by a machinist or toolroom technician familiar with lathe setup and attachment mounting procedures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the lathe at the main disconnect before mounting or removing the attachment.
