Product Details

Built around a 16" swing and 16x60 capacity, the JET GH-1660ZX 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 60" between centers put the GH-1660ZX 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 particular GH-1660ZX package is equipped with a Acu-Rite 203 digital readout for precise, at-a-glance positioning that reduces reliance on manual dial counting, a collet closer for faster, more repeatable workholding on smaller-diameter stock and bar work, and a taper attachment kit for accurate, repeatable taper turning independent of the compound slide.

Standard industrial safety features include:

  • 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
  • Integrated coolant system

Every GH-1660ZX 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-1660ZX is well suited for industrial OEMs, large-scale repair facilities, and heavy fabrication shops.

Features

  • 10 HP Three-Phase Motor — Delivers consistent torque for both heavy roughing passes and precision finishing cuts.
  • Rigid Cast Iron Base — One-piece construction dampens vibration and holds alignment across the full bed length.
  • 12 Spindle Speeds (26-1500 RPM) — Wide range covers heavy stock removal, threading, boring, and fine finishing.
  • Integrated Coolant System & Splash Guard — Contains chips and coolant for a cleaner, safer work area.
  • JET Electronic Chuck Key Holder — Reduces the risk of an operator starting the spindle with the chuck key still engaged.
  • Acu-Rite 203 Digital Readout — Provides real-time positional feedback to cut setup time and reduce scrap.
  • Collet Closer — Speeds up workholding changeovers and improves repeatability on bar-fed and small-diameter parts.
  • Taper Attachment Kit — Enables precise, repeatable taper turning independent of the compound rest setting.
