JET 16x40 Lathe Applications
- Precision turning, facing, and boring of hardened and mild steel components
- Complex multi-pass threading operations (Supports 61 Inch and 24 Metric threads)
- Turning oversized diameter workpieces using the 25-7/8" removable gap section
- Continuous-duty batch production in toolrooms and heavy maintenance departments
Ideal for professional fabricators and machinists who require the robust, consistent torque of a 3-phase geared-head lathe but need a more compact 40-inch center configuration.

Performance & Engineering Controls
- Geared Headstock Design: Delivers positive gear-driven power transfer, essential for maintaining constant RPM under heavy, low-speed cutting loads.
- Oversized 3-1/8" Spindle Bore: Provides generous clearance allowing large-diameter shafts and specialized tooling setups to pass directly through the headstock.
- Versatile Swing Over Gap: The removable 12.25-inch gap section provides an impressive 25-7/8 inch swing capacity for turning larger diameter flanges and plates.
- D1-8 Spindle Mount: Ensures quick, highly accurate chuck changes and secure workpiece holding during aggressive metal removal.
