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.
