Product Details
For shops that measure success in uptime, the JET GH-1660ZX 16x60 Large Spindle Bore ZX Gear Head Lathe delivers a 16" swing and a drivetrain built to run shift after shift without losing accuracy.
Capacity is where the GH-1660ZX stands out, with a 3-1/8" spindle bore for larger stock and 60" between centers for long shafts, rollers, and cylindrical parts.
A 10 HP Three-Phase motor and 12-speed gear head combine to cover a 26-1500 RPM speed range, from heavy roughing to fine finish passes.
As configured here, the GH-1660ZX includes a Acu-Rite 303 digital readout, giving the operator real-time positional feedback to cut setup time and reduce scrap, and a taper attachment kit, giving operators precise control over taper angles without disturbing the compound rest setting.
Standard industrial safety features include:
- Integrated coolant system
- 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
Ownership costs stay predictable thanks to JET's 2-year parts and labor warranty on the GH-1660ZX, plus a pre-shipment inspection on every unit.
Shops in energy and oilfield equipment suppliers and industrial OEMs rely on the GH-1660ZX for consistent, repeatable turning work, as do large-scale repair facilities.
