Product Details
For shops that measure success in uptime, the JET GH-1340 13x40 Gear Head Engine Lathe delivers a 13" swing and a drivetrain built to run shift after shift without losing accuracy.
Capacity is where the GH-1340 stands out, with a 2" spindle bore for larger stock and 39" between centers for long shafts, rollers, and cylindrical parts.
A 2 HP Single-Phase motor and 8-speed gear head combine to cover a 90-2000 RPM speed range, from heavy roughing to fine finish passes.
This particular GH-1340 package is equipped with a Newall NMS300 digital readout, giving the operator real-time positional feedback to cut setup time and reduce scrap, and a collet closer, which speeds up workholding changeovers and improves repeatability on small-diameter or bar-fed parts.
Standard industrial safety features include:
- Foot brake for rapid spindle stopping
- Chuck guard at the point of operation
- Full-length splash guard
- Lead screw cover to keep debris out of the drive mechanism
- Integrated coolant system
- UL 987 certified electrical system
Ownership costs stay predictable thanks to JET's 2-year parts and labor warranty on the GH-1340, plus a pre-shipment inspection on every unit.
Shops in fabrication and job shops and technical education programs rely on the GH-1340 for consistent, repeatable turning work, as do automotive and light manufacturing.
