Jet 321591 Engine Lathe with Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321591 is a heavy-duty engine lathe configured with a taper attachment, designed for precision turning operations in professional machine shops and industrial environments. Weighing 6,400 pounds, this is a large-format lathe built for sustained production work requiring consistent dimensional accuracy. The taper attachment expands the machine's capability, allowing operators to cut tapered workpieces without offsetting the tailstock. Installation and commissioning are typically handled by millwrights or experienced machine tool technicians.

This lathe is suited for industrial and commercial machine shop environments where high-capacity turning work is performed on a production or job-shop basis. The GH-1860ZX platform is a geared-head engine lathe, and the included 300S taper attachment allows precision taper turning across a range of workpiece geometries. Typical applications include shaft work, tooling production, and custom part fabrication requiring taper cuts.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty engine lathe configuration at 6,400 pounds for rigid, vibration-damped operation
• Includes taper attachment for angled turning without tailstock offset
• Geared-head design provides multiple spindle speed ranges for varied material and diameter combinations
• Large swing and bed length support long and large-diameter workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured engine lathe assembly intended for industrial machine shop installation; no specific cross-compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

Rigging and placement of this machine should be performed by qualified millwrights using appropriate lifting equipment rated for loads exceeding 6,400 pounds. The machine must be leveled on a reinforced concrete floor and anchored per the manufacturer's installation manual before operation. Electrical hookup should be completed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for industrial machinery. Do not operate the lathe without verifying all guards, slides, and the taper attachment are properly secured and adjusted.
