Jet 322486 Lathe with Tak Zx Collet Closer

Product Description

The JET 322486 is the GH-1880ZX gap-bed engine lathe bundled with the TAK ZX collet closer attachment. This combination gives machinists a full-size manual turning center capable of handling both standard chuck work and collet-based workholding in a single setup. The GH-1880ZX platform is a heavy-duty industrial lathe designed for production and toolroom environments where precision turning, facing, and threading are routine operations. The included TAK ZX collet closer expands the lathe's workholding capability, enabling faster part changeovers and improved concentricity when running bar stock or repetitive small-diameter parts.

This lathe-and-collet-closer package is suited for machine shops, toolrooms, vocational training facilities, and industrial maintenance departments. It handles a wide range of turning operations including OD turning, boring, threading, and facing. The collet closer attachment makes the unit particularly well-suited for production runs involving bar stock or precision-ground workpieces where chuck jaw marking is not acceptable. Installation and commissioning are typically performed by a qualified millwright or machinery installer.

Installation Notes

Lathes of this class must be installed on a level, rigid foundation and anchored per the manufacturer's installation manual before operation. Electrical connection should be performed by a licensed electrician in compliance with applicable NEC requirements for the machine's rated voltage and amperage. Disconnect and lock out all power before installing or adjusting the collet closer attachment. Refer to the JET GH-1880ZX operator manual for spindle bore specifications and collet series compatibility before mounting tooling.
