JET EGH-1740 Geared Head Lathe with ACU-RITE 303 DRO from JET delivers the precision and durability that serious machinists demand. Built on Meehanite castings with hardened and ground bedways and gears, this geared head lathe minimizes vibration and deflection to produce high-quality components turn after turn. Equipped with an ACU-RITE 303 Digital Readout and a universal gearbox supporting 45 inch threads and 39 metric threads without gear changes, it offers exceptional versatility for threading, turning, and facing operations in professional shop environments. Key Features 4-Position Carriage Stop for repeatable, accurate positioning Anti-Float design eliminates backlash in the cross slide for precise cross-feed movement 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 requirements 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 CNC-style lighting illuminates the work area for improved visibility Turcite-B coatings between the bed and carriage provide smooth and accurate movement 12 spindle speeds to accommodate a wide range of materials and operations Specifications MPN: JT9-892507 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 (In.): 6-2/7 Length of Gap (In.): 7-2/3 Max Tool Size (In.): 1 x 1 Amperage Draw @ 230V 3Ph: 22 A Amperage Draw @ 460V 3Ph: 11 A Overall Dimensions (L x W x H) (In.): 94 x 44 x 68 Country of Origin: Taiwan Prop 65: Cancer and Reproductive Harm Frequently Asked Questions How many spindle speeds does the JET EGH-1740 offer, and does changing threading requirements need gear changes? The JET EGH-1740 provides 12 spindle speeds. It is designed with a universal gearbox that allows for a wide range of threading - including 45 inch threads, 39 metric threads, 21 diametral pitch threads, and 18 modular pitch threads - without requiring gear changes. What safety features are built into this geared head lathe? This lathe incorporates multiple safety features: nylon safety gears in the end train prevent overloading, a shear pin in the lead screw disengages the feed when overloaded to prevent damage to the apron and headstock, an enclosed coolant system contains excess coolant, and the Anti-Float design eliminates backlash in the cross slide for controlled, predictable movement. What is the maximum tool size this lathe accepts? The JET EGH-1740 accepts a maximum tool size of 1 x 1 in., accommodating standard tooling used in professional machining applications. What electrical configurations are available for the JET EGH-1740? The JET EGH-1740 is available in two three-phase electrical configurations: 230V 3Ph with a 22-amp draw, and 460V 3Ph with an 11-amp draw, making it compatible with a variety of industrial shop power setups.
