Jet 321570 Lathe C80 Dro Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321570 is a GH-1440ZX gap-bed engine lathe configured with a C80 digital readout (DRO) and taper attachment. This machine is built for precision turning, facing, threading, and taper work in professional machine shop environments. The integrated C80 DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving dimensional accuracy. The taper attachment extends the machine's capability to cut external and internal tapers without offsetting the tailstock. At 5,700 pounds, this is a heavy-duty floor machine intended for permanent installation in industrial or trade shop settings.

The GH-1440ZX lathe is suited for job shops, tool rooms, maintenance facilities, and vocational training environments that require a full-featured manual lathe with precision measurement capability. The 14-inch swing and 40-inch between-centers capacity support a wide range of workpiece sizes common in general machining, repair, and fabrication work. The C80 DRO and taper attachment make this configuration appropriate for shops that handle both production and one-off precision turning tasks.

Key Features

• C80 digital readout (DRO) provides real-time axis position display for improved accuracy and reduced operator error
• Taper attachment enables taper turning without tailstock offset, preserving center alignment
• Gap-bed design accommodates larger-diameter workpieces over the gap section
• Heavy cast iron construction at 5,700 pounds supports rigid, vibration-damped cutting
• Full manual lathe capability including turning, facing, boring, and threading operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured machine specific to the JET GH-1440ZX platform with factory-installed C80 DRO and taper attachment accessories.

Installation Notes

Installation of this lathe requires qualified millwrights or machinery installation professionals due to its 5,700-pound shipping weight. The machine must be leveled on a reinforced concrete floor using precision machinist levels before operation. Electrical connections should be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for the machine's voltage and phase configuration. Confirm all guarding is in place and the spindle is verified clear before powering on for the first time.
