Jet 321980 Engine Lathe 22in Swing 80in Centers 10HP 230V

Product Description

The JET 321980 is a heavy-duty engine lathe designed for professional machining operations in industrial and production shop environments. This unit features a 22-inch swing and 80-inch center-to-center distance, making it well suited for turning large-diameter and long-length workpieces. It runs on a 10 HP motor drawing 3-phase 230-volt power. At 6,790 pounds, this is a floor-mounted production machine intended for permanent shop installation. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals specify this class of lathe for precision turning, threading, boring, and facing work that demands rigidity and capacity.

The GH-2280ZX is a geared-head engine lathe built for heavy industrial use. It is appropriate for metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where consistent, repeatable turning operations are required on large workpieces. The 80-inch bed length accommodates shafts, rolls, and similar elongated components that smaller bench or gap-bed lathes cannot handle. Three-phase power at 230 volts places this machine in commercial and industrial facilities with proper electrical service already in place.

Key Features

• 22-inch swing provides capacity for large-diameter turning work
• 80-inch center-to-center distance handles long shafts and cylindrical components
• 10 HP, 3-phase, 230-volt motor delivers sustained power for heavy cuts
• Geared-head design provides variable spindle speed ranges without belt changes
• Weighs 6,790 pounds for maximum rigidity and vibration damping under load

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-matched replacement or direct purchase unit for the JET GH-2280ZX engine lathe platform in industrial shop installations requiring 3-phase 230-volt electrical service.

Installation Notes

Installation of a machine at this weight class requires proper rigging equipment and a level, reinforced concrete floor capable of supporting the load. A licensed electrician should wire the 3-phase 230-volt service to applicable NEC requirements before the machine is energized. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power before performing any service, tooling changes, or adjustments. Consult the manufacturer installation manual for leveling, anchoring, and lubrication procedures prior to first operation.
