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.
