Product Details
Built around a 16" swing and 16x40 capacity, the JET GH-1640ZX Large Spindle Bore ZX Gear Head Lathe gives operators the rigidity and control needed for demanding, repeatable turning work.
A 3-1/8" spindle bore and 40" between centers put the GH-1640ZX ahead of comparable lathes, letting larger-diameter material pass through the headstock while supporting long-bed turning operations.
Power comes from a 10 HP Three-Phase motor feeding a 12-speed gear head (26-1500 RPM), delivering steady torque across a wide range of turning, facing, and threading operations.
This configuration of the GH-1640ZX adds a Newall NMS800 digital readout for precise, at-a-glance positioning that reduces reliance on manual dial counting.
Standard industrial safety features include:
- 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
- Lead screw cover to keep debris out of the drive mechanism
Every GH-1640ZX 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.
From heavy fabrication shops to energy and oilfield equipment suppliers, the GH-1640ZX is a fit anywhere industrial OEMs demand accuracy and uptime.
