Jet 321865 Gap Bed Lathe Acu-rite 200S Dro Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321865 is a GH-2680ZH gap bed engine lathe configured with an ACU-RITE 200S digital readout (DRO) and a taper attachment. This machine is built for heavy-duty turning operations in professional machine shops and industrial production environments. The integrated ACU-RITE 200S DRO provides precise axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on turned dimensions. The taper attachment allows machinists to cut accurate tapers without offsetting the tailstock. At 9,251 pounds, this is a full-size floor-standing lathe intended for permanent installation by qualified millwrights or industrial equipment riggers.

The GH-2680ZH is suited to commercial machine shops, tool and die operations, maintenance departments, and production facilities requiring a rigid, high-capacity turning center. Typical applications include shaft turning, facing, boring, threading, and taper work on large-diameter or long-length workpieces. The taper attachment extends the machine's capability for tooling and fixture work without complex setup changes. Installation requires a level, reinforced concrete floor and three-phase electrical service sized to the machine's power requirements.

Compatibility

Designed as a complete configured unit based on the JET GH-2680ZH gap bed engine lathe platform with factory-integrated ACU-RITE 200S DRO and taper attachment. Specific tooling, chuck, and accessory compatibility should be verified against the GH-2680ZH specification sheet prior to ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation of a machine at this weight class requires qualified millwrights and appropriate lifting equipment such as a forklift or overhead crane rated for the load. The lathe must be leveled on a reinforced concrete pad using precision machinist levels before operation. Electrical connection must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and the machine's nameplate ratings. Power must be fully de-energized and locked out before any service, adjustment, or accessory installation is performed.
