Jet 321575 Gap Bed Lathe Taper Attachment Collet Closer

Product Description

The JET 321575 is the GH-2280ZX gap bed engine lathe configured with a taper attachment and collet closer. This industrial-grade manual lathe is built for precision turning, facing, threading, and taper work on metal stock. The taper attachment allows machinists to cut accurate external and internal tapers without offsetting the tailstock, while the collet closer provides fast, repeatable workholding for bar stock and production runs. It is designed for installation and operation by qualified machinists and toolroom professionals in industrial shop environments.

The GH-2280ZX is suited for heavy-duty toolroom and production applications requiring consistent accuracy across a range of turning operations. The gap bed configuration increases swing capacity over the gap section, allowing work on larger-diameter workpieces when needed. This lathe is appropriate for job shops, maintenance facilities, and training environments where a full-featured manual engine lathe is required.
