GH-2280ZX 22" Large Spindle Bore Lathe - JET

The JET GH-2280ZX (Model 321980) is a professional-grade 22-inch large spindle bore lathe, engineered for demanding automotive and industrial machining operations. This robust machine features a substantial 22-inch swing and a 3-1/8" spindle bore, providing the rigidity and precision required for turning heavy-duty components and elongated workpieces. Designed for professional technicians and machinists, it offers reliable performance across a diverse range of turning applications.

Key Features

• Precision Spindle Design: The substantial 3-1/8" bore spindle is supported by a combination of two tapered and one ball bearing, ensuring exceptional rigidity and accuracy for stable machining, even under heavy loads.
• Optimized Carriage Performance: Featuring one-shot lubrication for consistent component wear protection and Turcite B on bed sliding surfaces, the carriage delivers smooth, precise movement and extends machine longevity.
• Durable Headstock Gearing: Chrome molybdenum headstock gears are hardened, ground, and shaved, contributing to quiet operation, enhanced durability, and efficient power transmission for consistent output.
• Versatile Threading Capabilities: A universal gearbox eliminates the need for manual change gears, allowing for quick and efficient cutting of inch, metric, diametral, and module pitch threads.
• Robust Construction: A heavy-duty, one-piece cast iron base absorbs vibrations for heavier cuts and improved accuracy. High-quality ANSI Class 50 wear-resistant cast iron bed ways are hardened and ground for lasting durability and sustained precision.
• ISO 9001 Certified Quality: Manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility, this lathe adheres to rigorous quality standards throughout its design and production.

Applications

The JET GH-2280ZX 22" Large Spindle Bore Lathe is ideally suited for professional workshops and manufacturing environments requiring precise machining of large or elongated workpieces. It excels in tasks such as turning heavy-duty shafts, axles, flanges, and custom bushings, as well as general metal fabrication, component repair, and custom part creation for automotive, industrial, and heavy equipment applications. The removable gap further expands its versatility for machining larger diameter workpieces.
