Jet 321961 Lathe with Tak Collet Closer

Product Description

The JET 321961 is a heavy-duty gap-bed engine lathe configured with a TAK collet closer, designed for precision turning operations in machine shops and industrial environments. Weighing 6,336 pounds, this is a full-size production lathe built for demanding metalworking applications. The TAK collet closer attachment enables fast, repeatable workpiece clamping without removing the chuck, reducing setup time on repetitive turning jobs. This machine is intended for installation and operation by qualified machinists and industrial trades professionals in a permanent shop setting.

The JET 321961 is suited for production and job-shop turning work where consistent accuracy and high workload capacity are required. The included TAK collet closer makes it well-matched for bar stock and repetitive-part operations. At 6,336 pounds, this lathe requires proper rigging, a reinforced concrete floor, and a dedicated power supply before installation. It is appropriate for heavy industrial and manufacturing environments.
