Jet 321593 GH-1860ZX Lathe with 300S Dro

Product Description

The JET 321593 is a heavy-duty engine lathe configured as the GH-1860ZX model, supplied with a 300S digital readout (DRO) and a taper collet closer attachment. This machine is designed for precision metal turning operations in industrial and production shop environments. The integrated DRO system provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving dimensional accuracy across repetitive operations. The taper collet closer adds workholding flexibility for collet-style tooling. At 6,450 pounds, this is a substantial floor-standing machine intended for permanent installation in a machine shop or metalworking facility.

The GH-1860ZX lathe is suited for professional machining environments including job shops, manufacturing facilities, toolrooms, and vocational training centers. The 300S DRO integration makes it appropriate for operators who require precise longitudinal and cross-slide positioning without manual dial reading. The taper collet closer supports efficient production runs where collet workholding is preferred over a standard chuck setup. Installation and commissioning of this machine is typically performed by qualified millwrights or machinery installation contractors.

Key Features

• GH-1860ZX model configuration with factory-integrated 300S DRO for real-time axis positioning
• Taper collet closer included for flexible collet-based workholding
• Heavy cast iron construction at 6,450 pounds for rigidity and vibration damping during cuts
• Floor-standing engine lathe designed for permanent production shop installation
• Sold as a complete package combining lathe, DRO, and collet closer in a single SKU

Compatibility

Designed for use as a self-contained engine lathe unit. The 300S DRO and taper collet closer are matched components supplied as part of the JET GH-1860ZX lathe package identified by MPN 321593.

Installation Notes

Installation of a machine weighing 6,450 pounds requires proper rigging equipment and a prepared concrete floor with adequate load-bearing capacity. Leveling of the lathe bed should be performed using precision machinist levels before power-up. Electrical connection must be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for the machine voltage and phase configuration. Do not operate the machine until all safety guards are in place and the DRO and collet closer have been verified for correct function.
