Jet GH-1880ZX Lathe w/ ACU-RITE 303 DRO & Taper Attachment (321597)

The Jet GH-1880ZX Lathe w/ ACU-RITE 303 DRO & Taper Attachment (321597) is a high-performance metal lathe designed for demanding applications in professional machine shops. This lathe boasts a powerful 7.5 HP motor that delivers ample power for machining various materials. The versatile universal gearbox eliminates the need for manual gear changes, allowing for quick and efficient threading in inch, metric, diametral, and module pitches.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• For enhanced precision: The lathe features a digital readout (DRO) system that provides real-time position data for accurate cuts. Additionally, the large 3-1/8" bore spindle, supported by tapered and ball bearings, ensures rigidity and stability when handling large diameter workpieces.
• Built for heavy-duty use: The one-piece cast iron base effectively absorbs vibration during operation, maintaining cutting accuracy even for aggressive cuts. The high-quality cast iron bed ways are hardened and ground to resist wear and ensure smooth carriage travel.
• Versatility: The removable gap bed allows for turning objects with diameters exceeding the standard swing capacity. The four-way tool post accommodates various cutting tools, while the integrated coolant system facilitates chip removal and extends tool life.
