Jet 321576 Geared Head Lathe Acu-rite 200S Dro Taper Collet

Product Description

The JET 321576 is a geared head engine lathe configured with a factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE 200S digital readout, taper attachment, and collet closer. This machine is built for precision turning, facing, boring, and threading operations in industrial and production shop environments. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on repeat-part runs. The taper attachment allows the operator to cut tapers without offsetting the tailstock, and the collet closer enables fast, repeatable workholding for bar stock and production work. At 6,000 pounds, this is a full-size industrial lathe intended for professional machine shop installation.

The 321576 is designed for use in production machine shops, tool rooms, maintenance facilities, and industrial training environments. The combination of the ACU-RITE 200S DRO, taper attachment, and collet closer makes this configuration well suited for shops that run repeat jobs requiring tight tolerances and efficient changeover. Installation requires a prepared concrete floor, adequate three-phase or single-phase power supply depending on motor configuration, and proper rigging equipment due to the machine weight. This lathe is installed and serviced by qualified machine tool technicians or millwrights.

Key Features

• Factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE 200S digital readout for real-time position feedback on both axes
• Taper attachment installed for cutting tapers without tailstock offset
• Collet closer installed for fast, repeatable bar stock and production workholding
• Geared head spindle drive provides a wide range of spindle speeds without belt changes
• Full industrial-duty construction at 6,000 pounds for rigidity and vibration damping

Compatibility

This unit corresponds to the JET GH-1660ZX lathe platform with the ACU-RITE 200S DRO, taper attachment, and collet closer installed as a factory-configured package.

Installation Notes

Installation of this lathe requires professional rigging due to the 6,000-pound shipping weight — do not attempt to move or position the machine without appropriate lifting and rigging equipment. The machine must be leveled on a reinforced concrete floor using precision leveling methods before operation. Electrical connection must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the applicable voltage and phase configuration. All guarding must be in place and verified before the machine is powered on for the first time.
