JET EGH-1740 Geared Head Lathe with ACU-RITE 203 DRO with Taper Attachment is a precision-engineered geared head lathe from JET Elite, purpose-built for machinists and production shops demanding consistent, high-quality turning performance. Combining the inherent rigidity of Meehanite castings with hardened and ground bedways and gears, this lathe minimizes vibration and deflection while delivering accurate longitudinal movement turn after turn. Equipped with an ACU-RITE 203 Digital Readout and a taper attachment, it extends versatility for complex workholding operations, while a universal gearbox enables a wide range of threading without gear changes. Turcite-B coatings between the bed and carriage ensure smooth, precise motion, making this machine a dependable centerpiece for serious metalworking environments. Key Features 4-Position Carriage Stop for repeatable, accurate positioning Anti-Float design eliminates backlash in the cross slide, ensuring precise cuts Enclosed coolant system contains excess coolant for increased safety Front facing chip pan allows easy chip removal from the front of the machine Full Length Splash Guard expertly designed to contain all chips and coolant Nylon safety gears in the end train prevent overloading, increasing safety One-Shot lubrication in the carriage reduces maintenance demands Shear pin in the lead screw disengages the feed when overloaded, preventing damage to the apron and headstock Steady rests feature ball bearing guides for smooth material movements Meehanite castings combined with precision engineering for lasting durability and strength Hardened and ground bedways and gears reduce vibration and deflection Universal gearbox allows a wide range of threading without gear changes Turcite-B coatings between the bed and carriage provide smooth and accurate movement CNC-style enclosed full-length splash guard lighting for a fully illuminated work area Specifications MPN: JT9-892504 Drive Type: Geared Head Number of Spindle Speeds: 12 Number of Inch Threads: 45 Number of Metric Threads: 39 Diametral Pitch Threads Number: 21 Modular Pitch Threads Number: 18 Compound Slide Travel: 6-2/7 in.

Country of Origin: Taiwan Proposition 65 Warning: Cancer and Reproductive Harm Frequently Asked Questions How does the shear pin in the lead screw protect the machine? The shear pin in the lead screw disengages the feed when overloaded, preventing damage to the apron and headstock. This built-in safety mechanism helps protect critical machine components during unexpected binding or overload events. What threading capabilities does the EGH-1740 offer? The EGH-1740 supports 45 inch threads, 39 metric threads, 21 diametral pitch threads, and 18 modular pitch threads, all accessible through a universal gearbox that allows a wide range of threading without requiring gear changes. How does the anti-float design improve cutting accuracy? The Anti-Float design eliminates backlash in the cross slide, which means the cutting tool maintains its exact position during passes without unwanted play or drift, resulting in more precise and repeatable dimensional cuts. What safety and maintenance features are built into the carriage and coolant system? The carriage features One-Shot lubrication to reduce maintenance intervals and keep moving parts properly protected. The enclosed coolant system contains excess coolant for increased safety, while the front facing chip pan allows easy chip removal from the front of the machine without interrupting workflow.
