JET 16x40 Lathe Applications
- Heavy industrial machining, large-diameter shaft turning, and precision bored finishing.
- Continuous-duty fabrication and rapid material removal in 3-Phase commercial machine shops.
- Complex multi-pass threading workflows supporting up to 61 distinct Threads Per Inch (TPI).
- Machining extreme-diameter flanges, flywheels, and wide faceplate work utilizing the 25-1/2" removable gap section.
Engineered specifically for heavy manufacturing environments that require massive structural dampening, high-torque 3-Phase power, and large-capacity spindle bores.

Performance & Engineering Controls
- Oversized 3-1/8" Spindle Bore: Maximizes machining versatility and throughput by allowing large-diameter industrial piping and heavy bar stock to pass completely through the headstock.
- Enclosed Geared Headstock: Provides immediate, positive power transfer across 12 distinct speed settings, ensuring optimal high-torque surface footage from 25 to 1,800 RPM.
- Expansive Removable Gap: Extends the swing capacity to an impressive 25.5 inches, allowing for the machining of extreme-diameter components while preserving the baseline rigidity of the machine bed.
- Heavy-Duty Travels: Equipped with a robust 9 inches of cross slide movement and 5 inches of tailstock travel to easily clear specialized cutting tooling setups and large workpieces.
- Precision Feed Rates: Features aggressive longitudinal feed rates ranging from 0.0015 to 0.0913 IPR for highly consistent and rapid material removal.
