Jet 321863 Gap Bed Engine Lathe Acu-rite 200S Dro

Product Description

The JET 321863 is a gap bed engine lathe equipped with an ACU-RITE 200S digital readout (DRO) system. It is designed for precision turning, facing, threading, and boring operations in machine shop environments. The integrated ACU-RITE 200S DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving dimensional accuracy across repetitive operations. At 9,251 pounds, this is a heavy-duty floor-mounted machine built for industrial and professional shop use. It is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in production and job shop settings.

The JET 321863 suits professional machine shops, vocational training facilities, and industrial manufacturing environments where a full-featured engine lathe with electronic position readout is required. The gap bed configuration allows for turning larger-diameter workpieces by removing the gap piece near the chuck, expanding the swing capacity beyond the standard bed limitation. This machine is appropriate for both production runs and one-off custom machining work.

Key Features

• Gap bed design allows turning of oversized-diameter workpieces
• ACU-RITE 200S DRO provides real-time digital axis position readout
• Heavy-duty construction at 9,251 pounds for vibration damping and rigidity
• Full engine lathe capability including turning, threading, facing, and boring
• Floor-mounted industrial footprint suitable for professional machine shop installation

Compatibility

Designed as a self-contained engine lathe unit. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO is factory-integrated with this machine as configured under JET part number 321863.

Installation Notes

Installation of this machine should be performed by qualified millwrights or machinery installation professionals. The machine requires a level, reinforced concrete floor capable of supporting loads in excess of 9,251 pounds, with anchor bolt placement per the manufacturer installation drawing. Electrical connection must be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the specified voltage, phase, and amperage service. Verify all axis scales and DRO display calibration before placing the machine into production service.
