Jet EGH-1740 Lathe w/ACU-RITE 303 DRO Taper & Collet Closer (892510)

Description

The Jet EGH-1740 Lathe w/ACU-RITE 303 DRO Taper & Collet Closer (892510) is a heavy-duty machine built for precision and performance. Combining robust construction with innovative features, this lathe is ideal for professional machinists and serious hobbyists alike.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Durable & Reliable: Meehanite® cast iron bed absorbs vibration and maintains rigidity for long-lasting use.
• Versatility: The universal gearbox allows for cutting various threads (inch, metric, modular, diametral) without gear changes. The large 3-1/8″ spindle bore accommodates larger diameter workpieces.
• Precision Machining: Class 7 precision taper roller bearings minimize runout for exceptional accuracy. Hardened and ground gears further reduce vibration and deflection.
• Smooth Operation: Turcite-B coating between the bed and carriage minimizes friction for smooth, precise movements. Anti-float design eliminates backlash in the cross slide for consistent results.
• Convenient Features: The enclosed coolant system with chip pan simplifies cleanup and coolant management. One-shot lubrication system reduces maintenance needs.
• Safety First: Nylon safety gears and overload protection features enhance user safety.
