Jet Equipment JT9-892454 Variable Speed Lathe with Dro

Product Description

The JET EQUIPMENT JT9-892454 is a variable speed engine lathe equipped with an ACU-RITE 203 digital readout (DRO) and a taper attachment, designed for precision metal turning in professional and educational shop environments. This machine features an electro-magnetic brake for controlled stops, a 3-jaw chuck for secure workholding, and ball bearing-mounted steady and follow rests for stable support during long or slender workpiece operations. CNC-style LED lighting and an enclosed splash guard keep the work area visible and protected. The unit weighs 1,653 pounds and ships as a single package. Licensed machinists, toolroom operators, and vocational instructors are the primary installers and operators of this machine.

The JT9-892454 is built for use in small machine shops, engineering labs, and trade school environments where a full-featured lathe is needed in a compact footprint. The ACU-RITE 203 DRO provides real-time axis position readout, reducing measurement error during turning, facing, and taper operations. The integrated taper attachment allows precise angular cuts without repositioning the tailstock. This lathe is CSA and CUS certified, confirming compliance with North American electrical and safety standards for powered machinery.

Installation Notes

Installation and commissioning of industrial lathes of this size and weight should be performed by qualified machinery riggers and a licensed electrician for final electrical hookup. Ensure the mounting surface is level, rated for the machine weight of 1,653 pounds, and that all power is locked out before any wiring connections are made. Refer to the manufacturer documentation and applicable local electrical codes before energizing the unit. Do not operate without all guards in place and the splash enclosure properly seated.
