Jet 321613 GH-2280ZX Lathe with Dro Collet Closer

Product Description

The JET 321613 is a heavy-duty geared head lathe configured with a 300S digital readout (DRO) and a collet closer, sold as a complete unit. The GH-2280ZX platform is a large-swing, gap-bed engine lathe designed for precision turning, facing, threading, and boring operations. The integrated DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on production and toolroom work. The collet closer allows fast, repeatable workpiece clamping without a chuck changeover. This machine is intended for installation and operation by skilled machinists and millwrights in industrial, toolroom, or heavy trade shop environments.

The GH-2280ZX configuration is suited for heavy-duty metal removal in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair operations. The combination of a large swing capacity, geared headstock, DRO package, and collet closer makes this lathe appropriate for shops running varied workpiece diameters and requiring tight tolerances. Typical applications include shaft turning, threaded component production, and custom part fabrication in industrial and commercial machine shop settings.
