Jet 321860 Geared Head Engine Lathe 26x80

Product Description

The JET 321860 is a geared head engine lathe built for heavy-duty metal turning in professional machine shop environments. The geared head drive delivers consistent spindle torque across a range of speeds, making it well suited for facing, turning, threading, and boring operations on large-diameter workpieces. With a 26-inch swing and 80-inch distance between centers, this lathe handles substantial stock lengths that smaller bench or toolroom lathes cannot accommodate. Installation and operation are performed by qualified machinists or millwrights familiar with industrial floor-standing machine tools.

This engine lathe is designed for industrial and commercial machine shop use where large workpieces and high material removal rates are routine. The 26-inch swing accommodates large-diameter stock, while the 80-inch between-centers capacity supports long shafts and cylinders. Typical applications include production turning, repair work, and custom fabrication in metal manufacturing facilities, maintenance shops, and industrial service operations.
