Jet 321893 Gap Bed Engine Lathe with Taper Attachment

Product Description

The JET 321893 is a gap bed engine lathe configured with a taper attachment, designed for precision turning, facing, threading, and taper cutting operations in machine shops and industrial maintenance environments. The taper attachment extends the functional range of the lathe, allowing operators to cut consistent tapers without repositioning the tailstock. At 9,362 pounds, this is a heavy-duty floor-standing machine built for professional metalworking applications. It is installed and commissioned by millwrights or skilled machine tool technicians.

The JET 321893 GH-26120ZH with taper attachment is suited for industrial machine shops, production facilities, toolrooms, and heavy maintenance shops requiring a full-size engine lathe. Its gap bed configuration accommodates larger-diameter workpieces by allowing the gap section near the chuck to be removed when needed. This lathe is appropriate for facilities performing high-tolerance shaft work, custom part fabrication, and repair machining on large components.

Key Features

• Gap bed design allows machining of oversized-diameter workpieces
• Includes taper attachment for consistent, repeatable taper turning without tailstock offset
• Heavy cast iron construction at 9,362 pounds for rigidity and vibration damping
• Full-size engine lathe configuration suited to production and toolroom environments
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-matched configuration for the JET GH-26120ZH gap bed engine lathe platform, supplied complete with taper attachment as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation of this machine should be performed by qualified millwrights or machine tool technicians familiar with heavy floor-mounted equipment. The machine must be placed on a reinforced concrete foundation adequate for its 9,362-pound operating weight and leveled using precision machinist levels and leveling pads or mounts. Verify that local electrical service matches the machine's required voltage and phase before connection, and follow all applicable OSHA and ANSI B11 standards for machine tool installation and guarding. Do not attempt to move or position this machine without appropriate lifting equipment rated for the load.
