Product Details
Built around a 13" swing and 13x40 capacity, the JET GH-1340 Gear Head Engine Lathe gives operators the rigidity and control needed for demanding, repeatable turning work.
A 2" spindle bore and 39" between centers put the GH-1340 ahead of comparable lathes, letting larger-diameter material pass through the headstock while supporting long-bed turning operations.
Power comes from a 2 HP Single-Phase motor feeding a 8-speed gear head (90-2000 RPM), delivering steady torque across a wide range of turning, facing, and threading operations.
This configuration of the GH-1340 adds a Newall NMS300 digital readout for precise, at-a-glance positioning that reduces reliance on manual dial counting.
Standard industrial safety features include:
- Full-length splash guard
- Lead screw cover to keep debris out of the drive mechanism
- 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
Every GH-1340 is inspected prior to shipment and backed by a 2-year parts and labor warranty, supported by JET's nationwide network of authorized service centers.
The GH-1340 is well suited for technical education programs, automotive and light manufacturing, and MRO and maintenance shops.
