Jet 321598 Lathe with 300S Collet Closer

Product Description

The JET 321598 is a heavy-duty engine lathe configured with the GH-1880ZX base machine and a 300S collet closer attachment. The collet closer integrates with the lathe spindle to allow fast, repeatable workpiece clamping without removing the chuck, supporting high-volume turning and precision part work. At 5,950 pounds, this is a floor-standing industrial machine intended for professional machine shops and manufacturing environments. Licensed machinists and skilled tradespeople are the primary installers and operators of this equipment.

The GH-1880ZX lathe with 300S collet closer is suited for industrial and commercial machine shop applications where consistent spindle work, long-run turning operations, and precision tolerances are required. The collet closer system is particularly useful in production environments where cycle time and repeatability matter. This configuration is sold as a complete unit and is appropriate for facilities with adequate floor space, power supply, and rigging capability to receive a machine of this size and weight.

Key Features

• Substantial 5,950-pound machine weight provides rigid, vibration-dampening base for precision turning
• Sold as a complete configured unit ready for installation
• Industrial-grade construction suited for continuous production use

Compatibility

Designed for use as a complete lathe system with the JET GH-1880ZX machine and JET 300S collet closer. Consult JET documentation for compatible collet sizes and spindle tooling specifications.

Installation Notes

At 5,950 pounds, this machine requires professional rigging, forklift access, and adequate structural flooring before installation begins. Electrical connection must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the machine nameplate voltage and amperage. The power supply must be fully locked out and tagged out before any service or adjustment to the collet closer mechanism or spindle components. Anchoring to the shop floor per the manufacturer installation manual is strongly recommended to maintain rigidity and operator safety.
