JET 13x40 Lathe Applications
- Precision turning, facing, and boring of hardened and mild steel components
- Complex threading operations (Supports 38 Inch and 23 Metric threads)
- Turning oversized diameter workpieces using the 18-3/4" removable gap section
- Continuous-duty small batch production in toolrooms and maintenance departments
Ideal for fabricators and machinists who require the robust, consistent torque of a geared-head lathe but operate in facilities limited to single-phase power.

Performance & Engineering Controls
- Geared Headstock Design: Delivers positive gear-driven power transfer, essential for maintaining constant RPM under heavy, low-speed cutting loads.
- 1-3/8" Spindle Bore: Provides generous clearance allowing long shafts and specialized tooling setups to pass directly through the headstock.
- Versatile Swing Over Gap: The removable 8-inch gap section provides an 18.75-inch swing capacity for turning larger diameter workpieces beyond standard limits.
- D1-4 Spindle Mount: Ensures quick, highly accurate chuck changes and secure workpiece holding during aggressive metal removal.
Why Choose This JET Lathe Package
- Engineered for high-torque applications that traditional belt-driven lathes often cannot sustain.
- Comprehensive thread-cutting support handles a wide range of global industry standards without extensive gear swapping.
- Compact, powerful design saves critical floor space without compromising on a generous 40-inch workpiece capacity.
- Operates entirely on standard 230V Single-Phase power, eliminating the need for expensive 3-Phase shop converters.
The JET 321102AK delivers unyielding gear-head power and technical precision, making it a highly capable turning center for professional machine shops.
