Jet 321862 Gap Bed Engine Lathe Dro Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321862 is a heavy-duty gap bed engine lathe configured with a Newall DP700 digital readout (DRO) and a taper attachment, making it a fully equipped machine tool ready for precision turning operations. The Newall DP700 DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving dimensional accuracy on turned parts. The included taper attachment extends the machine's capability to cut external and internal tapers without offsetting the tailstock. This combination is intended for installation and operation by machinists and skilled tradespeople in job shop, maintenance, or production environments. At 9,251 pounds, this is a floor-mounted industrial machine requiring appropriate rigging and foundation preparation.

The JET 321862 is suited for residential machine shops, industrial maintenance facilities, and production job shops requiring a full-featured engine lathe. The GH-2680ZH designation indicates a gap bed configuration, which accommodates larger-diameter workpieces by allowing removal of the gap section near the chuck. The bundled Newall DP700 DRO and taper attachment make this unit appropriate for facilities that require taper turning capability and precise linear positioning without sourcing accessories separately.
