Jet 321529 Lathe Newall C80 Dro Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321529 is a heavy-duty gear-head lathe configured with a Newall C80 digital readout (DRO) and a taper attachment factory installed. This combination delivers precision turning capability with real-time axis feedback through the C80 DRO, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on repetitive cuts. The taper attachment extends the machine's capability to cut external and internal tapers without offsetting the tailstock. Weighing 6,200 pounds, this is a floor-standing production-grade machine intended for professional machine shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial training environments. Installation and commissioning require qualified millwrights or machinery mechanics.

The GH-1660ZX platform is a full-size metalworking lathe suited for heavy turning applications in commercial and industrial settings. The integrated Newall C80 DRO provides digital position readout on primary axes, supporting precise manual turning operations. The factory-installed taper attachment allows machinists to produce consistent tapers as part of routine production work without specialized fixturing. This configuration is commonly specified for job shops, toolrooms, and facilities requiring a ready-to-run lathe with measurement and taper capability out of the crate.

Key Features

• Newall C80 DRO factory installed for real-time digital axis positioning
• Taper attachment installed at the factory, ready for immediate taper-cutting operations
• Gear-head spindle drive for variable speed turning under heavy load
• Substantial 6,200-pound machine mass supports vibration-damping during deep cuts
• Floor-standing industrial construction suited for production and toolroom environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured metalworking lathe; accessory and tooling compatibility should be verified against the JET GH-1660ZX specifications for chuck size, spindle nose type, and tool post mounting.

Installation Notes

At 6,200 pounds, this machine requires rigging equipment and qualified millwrights for unloading, positioning, and leveling. The lathe must be anchored to a reinforced concrete floor per the manufacturer's installation requirements before operation. Electrical connection should be performed by a licensed electrician in compliance with NEC requirements for the voltage and phase configuration of the machine. Verify all DRO cable connections and taper attachment adjustments before powering on for the first time.
