14" x 40" Gear Head Lathe w/ Collet Closer, 2HP, 230V 1PH(GH-1440-1)

The JET GH-1440-1 14" x 40" Gear Head Engine Lathe (JT1-2709) is designed to help shops do more per shift with safer operation, clean containment, and dependable turning performance. Whether used in production machining, repair work, fabrication, or training environments, this machine balances power, capacity, and operator-focused safety.

At the heart of the GH-1440-1 is a 3 HP, 1-phase motor driving an 8-speed gear head system with spindle speeds ranging from 90–1800 RPM, delivering consistent torque for turning, facing, drilling, boring, threading, grooving, and parting operations.

The 2" spindle bore increases bar capacity, reduces secondary operations, and expands the range of workpieces your shop can handle. A D1-5 spindle nose supports secure chuck mounting and industrial rigidity.

Unlike many competitor models that treat safety as optional, JET standardizes critical protective features:

• Foot brake for rapid spindle stops
• Chuck guard at the point of operation
• Lead screw cover to prevent chip contamination
• JET electronic chuck key holder to help prevent unsafe startups
• UL 987 electrical certification for compliant installation

These features are confirmed during JET’s 30-Point Pre-Shipment Inspection, ensuring the lathe arrives cleaned, inspected, and ready to run.

Built-in containment systems including a full-length splash guard, integrated coolant system, and chip tray keep the work area cleaner and reduce end-of-shift maintenance time.

The result is a gear head engine lathe that delivers:

• Industrial durability
• Larger part capacity
• Cleaner operation
• Safer performance
• Predictable ownership costs

Backed by a 2-Year Parts & Labor Warranty, nationwide service support, and U.S.-based technical assistance, the GH-1440-1 is built for long-term uptime.
