Jet GHB-1340A Lathe Machine with C80 DRO and Collet Closer (321581)

Description

Jet GHB-1340A Lathe Machine with C80 DRO and Collet Closer (321581) is a versatile metalworking lathe ideal for machinists, hobbyists, and professional workshops. This powerful lathe boasts an enclosed gearbox for smooth operation, a D1-4 spindle with precision bearings for accuracy, and a wide range of threading and feed capabilities.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Enhanced Precision & Control: Enclosed gearbox minimizes noise and ensures smooth operation. Hardened and ground gears, constant headstock oiling, and independent leadscrew and feed rod contribute to exceptional machining accuracy.
• Versatility for Various Projects: The 13-inch swing capacity and gap bed section allow handling of both standard and larger diameter workpieces. Variable speeds (70-2000 RPM) and 40 feed rates offer flexibility for tackling diverse projects.
• User-Friendly Design: The C80 DRO (Digital ReadOut) simplifies measurement and positioning for improved efficiency. Backlash elimination on compound and cross slides further enhances machining accuracy.
• Durability & Long-lasting Performance: The induction hardened and ground V-way bed ensures a stable platform for precise machining. Adjustable gibs enable fine-tuning of slideway fit for long-term precision.
