Jet Equipment JT9-892504 EGH-1740 Engine Lathe Dro Taper

Product Description

The JET EQUIPMENT JT9-892504 is the EGH-1740 large-spindle-bore engine lathe configured with an ACU-RITE 203 digital readout (DRO) and a taper attachment. Built to world-class tolerances for spindle runout, bed alignment, and bed-way parallelism, this machine is engineered for demanding production and toolroom environments. At 3,748 pounds, it is a heavy-duty floor-mount unit intended for professional machinists and industrial shops. The included ACU-RITE 203 DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and measurement error on precision turning operations.

The EGH-1740 is suited for production turning, custom fabrication, and toolroom work in industrial, manufacturing, and heavy-trade shop settings. The taper attachment expands the machine's capability to cut external and internal tapers without offsetting the tailstock. This configuration is typically specified for shops that require consistent, repeatable results on cylindrical and tapered workpieces in a single setup.

Key Features

• Large spindle bore design engineered for oversized workpiece capacity
• ACU-RITE 203 DRO included for real-time axis position readout
• Taper attachment included for external and internal taper turning
• Manufactured to tight tolerances for spindle runout, bed alignment, and bed-way parallelism
• Heavy-duty construction at 3,748 pounds for rigidity and vibration damping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured engine lathe package within the JET EGH-1740 Elite Lathe lineup. Compatible accessories and tooling should be verified against JET EGH-1740 series specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation of this lathe should be performed by qualified millwrights or industrial machinery mechanics. The unit requires a reinforced, level concrete floor capable of supporting a static load in excess of 3,748 pounds, and anchor bolts are typically used to secure the base. Electrical hookup must be completed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for the machine's rated voltage and phase. Verify leveling with a precision machinist level across the bed ways before commissioning.
