Jet 321560 Engine Lathe Acu-rite Dro 200S Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321560 is a heavy-duty engine lathe configured with a 2-axis ACU-RITE DRO 200S digital readout and a factory-installed taper attachment. The GH-1880ZX platform is built for precision turning work in professional machine shops, tool rooms, and industrial maintenance environments. At 7100 pounds, this is a floor-standing production machine requiring proper anchoring and a prepared concrete surface. The integrated DRO 200S provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on turned diameters, shoulders, and face work. The taper attachment expands the machine's capability to cut external and internal tapers without offsetting the tailstock.

This lathe is suited for professional machinists and maintenance shops performing shaft work, custom fabrication, and precision repair. The GH-1880ZX designation reflects an 18-inch swing and 80-inch center distance, making it capable of handling long or large-diameter workpieces. It is appropriate for industrial facilities, vocational training centers, and high-volume job shops where a full-size engine lathe with digital readout capability is required for day-to-day turning operations.

Key Features

• Factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE DRO 200S digital readout for real-time position feedback on turning and facing operations
• Taper attachment installed at the factory for cutting external and internal tapers without tailstock offset
• GH-1880ZX platform with 18-inch swing and 80-inch between centers for large and long workpieces
• Robust cast iron construction at 7100 pounds for rigidity and vibration damping during heavy cuts
• Sold as a complete, ready-to-install assembly with DRO and taper attachment pre-mounted

Compatibility

Designed as a standalone floor-mounted engine lathe in the JET GH-1880ZX series. The ACU-RITE DRO 200S and taper attachment are factory-installed and matched to this machine configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation of a machine this size requires licensed millwrights or qualified industrial equipment riggers. The unit must be leveled on a reinforced concrete floor using precision machinist levels and appropriate mounting hardware before any test cuts are made. Electrical connection should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the machine's specified voltage and phase. Hydraulic or mechanical lifting equipment rated for the full machine weight is required for unloading and positioning.
