JET 13x40 Lathe Applications
- High-accuracy turning, precise boring, and fine-finish facing of mild and hardened steels.
- Consistent single-point threading operations supporting up to 40 Threads Per Inch (TPI).
- Machining oversized flanges and wide-diameter components utilizing the 18-3/4" removable gap section.
- Professional prototyping, maintenance repair operations, and fabrication limited to single-phase commercial power.
Optimized for commercial machine shops and serious fabricators requiring geared-head torque and industrial structural dampening on standard single-phase power grids.

Performance & Engineering Controls
- Enclosed Geared Headstock: Provides immediate, positive power transfer across 8 distinct speed settings, ensuring optimal surface footage from 70 to 2,000 RPM without the slip associated with belt drives.
- 1-1/2" Spindle Bore: Maximizes versatility by allowing standard bar stock and piping to pass directly through the headstock for highly efficient batch machining.
- Expansive Removable Gap: Extends the swing capacity to 18.75 inches, allowing for the machining of extreme-diameter faceplate work while preserving the rigidity of the bed.
- Extra-Wide Lathe Bed: The robust 13-3/8 inch bed width delivers superior structural harmonics, dampening vibration to ensure flawless surface finishes under heavy tool pressure.
- Precision Feed Rates: Features longitudinal feed rates ranging from 0.0036 to 0.0325 IPR for consistent, highly repeatable passes.
