Product Details
For shops that measure success in uptime, the JET GH-2180ZX 21x80 Large Spindle Bore ZX Gear Head Lathe delivers a 21" swing and a drivetrain built to run shift after shift without losing accuracy.
Capacity is where the GH-2180ZX stands out, with a 3-1/8" spindle bore for larger stock and 83.5" 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-2180ZX includes a Acu-Rite 203 digital readout for precise, at-a-glance positioning that reduces reliance on manual dial counting, and a taper attachment kit for accurate, repeatable taper turning independent of the compound slide.
Standard industrial safety features include:
- Full-length splash guard
- Lead screw cover to keep debris out of the drive mechanism
- 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
Ownership costs stay predictable thanks to JET's 2-year parts and labor warranty on the GH-2180ZX, plus a pre-shipment inspection on every unit.
The GH-2180ZX is well suited for industrial OEMs, large-scale repair facilities, and heavy fabrication shops.
