Jet 321612 Engine Lathe with Dro Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321612 is a heavy-duty engine lathe configured with a 300S digital readout (DRO) and a taper attachment, designed for precision turning operations in industrial and professional machine shop environments. At 7,600 pounds, this is a large-capacity floor machine built for demanding production and toolroom work. The integrated DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving dimensional accuracy across repetitive cuts. The taper attachment enables controlled taper turning without offsetting the tailstock, preserving workpiece support and alignment throughout the operation.

This lathe is suited for industrial machine shops, maintenance facilities, and heavy toolroom applications where large-diameter or long-workpiece turning is required. The GH-2280ZX platform is a gap-bed engine lathe intended for professional machinists handling shafts, flanges, dies, and similar components. The combination of DRO and taper attachment makes this configuration well-matched to shops running mixed production and one-off precision work.

Key Features

• 300S digital readout included for real-time axis position measurement
• Taper attachment for controlled taper turning without tailstock offset
• Heavy-duty cast iron construction suited to continuous production use
• Large machine weight of 7,600 pounds indicates substantial swing and bed capacity
• Gap-bed design on the GH-2280ZX platform accommodates larger-diameter workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured engine lathe unit; the 300S DRO and taper attachment are factory-integrated with the GH-2280ZX lathe platform as supplied under part number 321612.

Installation Notes

Installation of a machine at this weight class requires a reinforced concrete floor, precision leveling, and appropriate rigging equipment. Electrical connection should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the machine voltage and phase. Confirm all guarding is in place and the machine is properly grounded before operation. Lubrication and alignment checks should be completed per the manufacturer documentation prior to first use.
