Jet 321579 Engine Lathe Dro Taper Attachment Collet Closer

Product Description

The JET 321579 is the GH-2280ZX engine lathe configured with the DP700 digital readout (DRO), taper attachment, and collet closer. This is a fully equipped metal-turning lathe package intended for machine shops and industrial environments requiring precision turning, facing, threading, and taper work from a single setup. The inclusion of the DP700 DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing manual calculation and improving repeatability on repeat jobs. The taper attachment and collet closer expand workholding and machining capability beyond a standard lathe configuration. Installation and commissioning are handled by qualified millwrights or machine tool technicians.

The GH-2280ZX platform is a geared-head engine lathe suited for heavy-duty production and job-shop turning operations. The DP700 DRO package supports precise longitudinal and cross-slide positioning. The taper attachment allows cutting tapers without offsetting the tailstock, preserving center alignment. The collet closer enables faster workholding changeover for repetitive short-run work. This package is appropriate for professional machine shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial training environments where full-featured turning capability is required.

Installation Notes

Installation of an engine lathe of this class requires qualified millwrights or machine tool technicians and appropriate rigging equipment rated for the machine weight. The lathe must be leveled on a suitable concrete floor pad and connected to the correct electrical service before operation. Electrical connections must comply with applicable NEC requirements and be performed by a licensed electrician. Consult the JET GH-2280ZX installation manual for all leveling, lubrication, and commissioning procedures before powering the machine.
