Jet 321592 Lathe with 300S Dro and Collet Closer

Product Description

The JET 321592 is a geared head gap-bed lathe configured as the GH-1860ZX, supplied with a 300S digital readout and a collet closer. This is a full-size industrial lathe intended for precision turning, facing, threading, and boring operations. The 300S DRO provides real-time axis readout, reducing setup time and minimizing manual measurement errors during production or toolroom work. The collet closer is included, enabling rapid, repeatable workpiece clamping for high-volume or precision turning applications. At 6,400 pounds, this is a heavy-duty machine requiring proper rigging and a prepared foundation before installation.

The GH-1860ZX configuration is suited for machine shops, toolrooms, maintenance facilities, and industrial manufacturing environments where a full-size gap-bed lathe is required. The included 300S DRO makes it appropriate for shops transitioning from manual to digitally assisted machining without moving to full CNC. The collet closer expands workholding flexibility, allowing the use of collets alongside standard chuck configurations. This machine is installed and commissioned by qualified millwrights or machine tool technicians.

Installation Notes

Installation requires qualified millwrights or machine tool technicians with appropriate rigging equipment rated for loads exceeding 6,400 pounds. The machine must be placed on a level, reinforced concrete floor and properly leveled using a precision machinist level before operation. Electrical connection must be performed by a licensed electrician in compliance with applicable NEC requirements for the voltage and phase configuration of the machine. Do not attempt to move or position this machine without proper lifting equipment and trained rigging personnel.
