This is a heavy-duty manual lathe designed for precision turning, facing, threading, and taper work in industrial and professional machine shop environments. The integrated C80 DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving dimensional accuracy. At 7,425 pounds, this is a full-size floor-standing machine intended for permanent installation. Licensed machinists and skilled trades professionals are the primary installers and operators of this equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GH-2280ZX is suited to production and toolroom environments where large-diameter and long-workpiece turning is required. The taper attachment extends the machine's capability to cut precise tapers without offsetting the tailstock, making it well suited for shops producing shafts, tooling, and custom components. This lathe is appropriate for job shops, manufacturing facilities, and heavy industrial maintenance operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGap bed design allows turning of larger-diameter workpieces near the headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC80 digital readout provides real-time position data for X and Z axes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper attachment included for accurate taper turning without tailstock offset\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy cast iron construction at 7,425 pounds supports rigid, vibration-dampened cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-size engine lathe configuration suitable for production and toolroom use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a complete machine unit; the C80 DRO and taper attachment are factory-configured for the GH-2280ZX lathe platform.
