Jet Equipment JT9-892319 Variable Speed Lathe 2 Hp 230V

Product Description

The JET EQUIPMENT JT9-892319 is a variable-speed metalworking lathe built for precision turning in demanding shop environments. Rated at 2 HP and wired for 3-phase 230-volt service, it uses an inverter drive system to deliver infinitely variable spindle speeds across two gear ranges: 40 to 365 RPM in low and 165 to 2000 RPM in high. The machine ships with a Newall DP700 digital readout for real-time axis positioning. Certified Meehanite castings provide a rigid, vibration-resistant base, and an electromagnetic brake enables fast, controlled spindle stops. A three-jaw chuck, ball bearing-mounted steady and follow rests, and CNC-style LED lighting round out the standard equipment package.

The JT9-892319 is designed for schools, small machine shops, and engineering labs that need a capable lathe without a large floor footprint. The front-facing chip pan allows chip removal from the front of the machine without repositioning around the unit. Hardened and ground headstock gears reduce vibration during cuts. An LED RPM readout provides precise speed monitoring at a glance, and a 4-position carriage stop supports repeatable part lengths. An integrated locking tool cabinet is built into the stand on the 12-inch lathe configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a licensed electrician for 3-phase 230-volt service connection in accordance with NEC requirements. Confirm the service panel can supply adequate amperage before wiring. Level the machine on a solid floor surface before operation, and verify all guards are seated and locked before powering the spindle. Do not operate the lathe without the splash guard and chuck guard in place.
