Description
The Jet EGH-1740 w/ ACU-RITE 203 DRO Taper & Collet Closer (892555) is a powerful and versatile machine built for demanding metalworking applications. It combines the strength and durability of Meehanite castings with precision engineering to deliver exceptional machining performance. The large 3-1/8" spindle bore accommodates a wide range of materials, while the universal gearbox allows for threading in various pitches without gear changes.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Enhanced Precision and Control: The EGH-1740 comes equipped with an ACU-RITE 203 Digital ReadOut (DRO). This user-friendly system displays the position of the cutting tool in real-time, ensuring accurate cuts and minimizing errors.
- Versatility: Includes a taper attachment and collet closer for greater flexibility when working with different tooling options.
- User Comfort and Efficiency: Features a fully enclosed coolant system to manage cutting fluids effectively. The front-facing chip pan allows for easy chip removal, while the steady rests with ball bearing guides ensure smooth material movement.
- Excellent Illumination: CNC-style lighting provides excellent illumination of the work area, and the full-length splash guard keeps chips and coolant contained.
- Durable Build: Built to last with features like class 7 precision taper roller bearings for minimal spindle runout, hardened and ground gears to reduce vibration, and a wider bed design for increased stability.
- Friction Minimization: Turcite-B coating between the bed ways and carriage minimizes friction, while the anti-backlash cross slide design ensures precise tool positioning.
- Easy Maintenance: The one-shot lubrication system simplifies maintenance, and the overload clutch protects the carriage from damage.
- Safety Features: Nylon safety gears prevent overloading, and the enclosed coolant system promotes a safer work environment. Additionally, the shear pin in the lead screw disengages the feed when overloaded, protecting the machine's components.
