Jet 321567 Engine Lathe 2-axis Dro Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321567 is the GH-2280ZX engine lathe configured with a 2-axis ACU-RITE 200S digital readout (DRO) and a taper attachment. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on diameter and length cuts. The taper attachment extends the machine's capability to cut precise tapers without offsetting the tailstock. At 7,425 pounds, this is a heavy-duty floor-standing lathe intended for professional machine shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial production environments. Installation and commissioning require qualified millwrights or machinery installers.

The GH-2280ZX platform is suited for high-volume turning operations in both production and job-shop settings. The 2-axis DRO package is factory-integrated on this configuration, covering the X and Z axes for cross-slide and carriage positioning. The taper attachment mounts to the rear of the carriage and allows taper cutting across a defined range without altering the tailstock alignment, preserving between-center setups during the same operation. This configuration is appropriate for aerospace, toolroom, and general metalworking applications requiring consistent taper and diameter control.

Key Features

• Factory-integrated 2-axis ACU-RITE 200S DRO for real-time X and Z axis position readout
• Taper attachment included for cutting tapers without tailstock offset
• Heavy-duty cast iron construction at 7,425 pounds for rigidity and vibration damping
• GH-2280ZX base platform designed for sustained production turning cycles
• Single-unit (each) packaging for direct floor installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured engine lathe; the ACU-RITE 200S DRO and taper attachment are matched to the GH-2280ZX at the factory. Consult JET and ACU-RITE documentation for compatible accessories and replacement scales.

Installation Notes

Machinery of this weight class requires qualified millwrights or industrial riggers for unloading, positioning, and leveling. The lathe must be anchored to a reinforced concrete floor in accordance with the manufacturer's installation manual and applicable local codes before operation. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power before performing any wiring connections or service work. Do not operate the machine until leveling and alignment have been verified with a precision level and test cuts have confirmed acceptable runout.
