Product Details
The JET GH-1340 brings 13x40 capacity and a 13" swing to shops that can't afford downtime, combining rigid cast iron construction with industry-standard safety equipment.
With 39" between centers and a 2" spindle bore, the GH-1340 handles longer workpieces and larger stock than typical shop lathes in its class, reducing re-chucking and secondary operations.
Behind the headstock sits a 2 HP Single-Phase motor, and with 8 spindle speeds across 90-2000 RPM, operators can dial in the right speed for nearly any material.
As configured here, the GH-1340 includes a collet closer, which speeds up workholding changeovers and improves repeatability on small-diameter or bar-fed parts, and a taper attachment kit, giving operators precise control over taper angles without disturbing the compound rest setting.
Standard industrial safety features include:
- Integrated coolant system
- UL 987 certified electrical system
- Electronic chuck key holder to reduce the risk of a key left in the chuck
- Foot brake for rapid spindle stopping
- Chuck guard at the point of operation
- Full-length splash guard
JET backs every GH-1340 with a 2-year parts and labor warranty and a pre-shipment inspection, so shops get predictable ownership costs and fast access to service when needed.
automotive and light manufacturing, MRO and maintenance shops, and fabrication and job shops all turn to the GH-1340 when precision and durability are non-negotiable.
