Performance & Engineering Controls
- Oversized 4-1/8" Spindle Bore: Maximizes machining versatility and throughput by allowing large-diameter industrial piping and heavy bar stock to pass completely through the D1-6 headstock.
- Expansive 80" Center Distance: Provides massive real estate to easily mount and machine extra-long drive shafts and oversized commercial components without tool interference.
- 10 HP High-Torque Drive: Supplies relentless rotational power to the enclosed geared headstock, easily powering through heavy roughing cuts and difficult-to-machine alloys.
- Robust Lathe Bed Foundation: The 13-3/8 inch bed width delivers superior structural harmonics, heavily dampening vibration to ensure flawless surface finishes under extreme tool pressure.
- Precision Feed Rates: Features aggressive longitudinal feed rates ranging from 0.0023 to 0.0937 IPR for highly consistent and rapid material removal.
Why Invest in This JET Lathe
- Delivers an exceptional combination of a massive 80-inch center distance and a large 4-1/8" spindle bore capacity, managing the oversized structural components that standard toolroom lathes cannot clear.
- Operates on robust 230V 3-Phase power, bringing relentless industrial capabilities to continuous-duty production lines.
- Built with rigid, vibration-dampening cast iron components designed to maintain strict commercial tolerances through years of heavy, continuous use.
