Jet GH-1440ZX Lathe w/ACU-RITE 203 DRO Taper & Collet Closer (321569)

Description

The Jet GH-1440ZX Lathe w/ACU-RITE 203 DRO Taper & Collet Closer (321569) delivers exceptional power, precision, and efficiency for your metalworking projects. This robust lathe tackles demanding tasks with its 7.5 HP, 3-phase motor and large 3-1/8″ bore spindle supported by a combination of tapered and ball bearings for maximum stability. The one-piece cast iron base absorbs vibrations during operation, providing a solid foundation for heavy cuts and maintaining machining accuracy. High-quality ANSI Class 50 wear-resistant cast iron bed ways are hardened and ground for smooth travel of the carriage.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Effortless Threading and Gear Changes: Universal gearbox allows various thread types (inch, metric, diametral, and module pitch) without manual gear changes. ACU-RITE 203 DRO ensures accurate measurements.
• Built for Stability and Rigidity: One-piece cast iron base absorbs vibrations, ensuring stability during heavy cuts. Hardened and ground bed ways provide smooth carriage travel.
• Designed for Versatility and Productivity: 14″ swing over bed and 23-5/8″ swing through the gap accommodate large diameter workpieces. Removable gap enhances flexibility. Five-position automatic carriage stops enhance productivity.
