Jet 321610 Lathe with Acu-rite 300S Dro

Product Description

The JET 321610 is the GH-2280ZX gap-bed engine lathe configured with an ACU-RITE 300S digital readout system. It is a heavy-duty manual lathe built for precision turning work in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial production environments. The integrated ACU-RITE 300S DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving dimensional accuracy across repetitive turning, facing, and threading operations. At 7,550 pounds, this is a full-size floor-standing machine requiring rigger-assisted installation and a properly prepared concrete foundation.

The GH-2280ZX is suited to commercial machine shops and industrial maintenance departments handling large-diameter workpieces. It is designed for professional machinists and toolroom operators who require a manual engine lathe capable of heavy stock removal as well as finish turning. The ACU-RITE 300S DRO is factory-integrated, making this unit ready for immediate production use without a separate DRO retrofit.

Key Features

• Factory-installed ACU-RITE 300S digital readout for real-time axis position feedback
• GH-2280ZX gap-bed design allows larger-diameter workpieces over the gap section
• Heavy cast iron construction supports rigid, vibration-dampened cutting
• Full-size floor-standing lathe at 7,550 pounds for maximum stability
• Sold as a complete, production-ready unit requiring no additional DRO installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured engine lathe with integrated digital readout; intended for use as a standalone machine tool in commercial or industrial shop environments.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by qualified riggers due to the machine weight of 7,550 pounds. A level, reinforced concrete floor pad is required for proper machine alignment and safe operation. All electrical connections must be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for industrial machinery. Power down and lockout the machine at the main disconnect before performing any maintenance, tooling changes, or adjustments.
