JET E-1440VS MANUAL LATHE

The JET E-1440VS manual lathe features a 14-inch swing over bed and 40-inch distance between centers, supporting a spindle bore diameter of 1.5 inches with an MT-5 taper and D1-4 spindle mount. Powered by a 3 HP motor (230V, 3-phase), it offers a variable spindle speed range from 0 to 2,200 RPM, controlled via an electronic variable speed drive for precision machining. The lathe provides an 8.63-inch swing over the cross slide and overall dimensions of 77 inches (L) x 30 inches (W) x 58 inches (H), weighing 1,653 lbs. Constructed with certified Meehanite castings for rigidity and durability, it includes features such as an electromagnetic foot brake for rapid spindle stopping, a 3-jaw chuck, ball bearing-mounted steady and follow rests for smooth workpiece support, and CNC-style lighting with an enclosed splash guard. The machine supports extensive threading capabilities with 40 standard inch threads (4 to 112 TPI) and 22 metric threads (0.45 to 7.5 mm pitch), plus 80 longitudinal and cross feeds for fine feed rate adjustments. The cross slide travel is approximately 6 to 6.5 inches, accommodating a maximum tool size of 7/8 x 7/8 inches. The lathe is suited for precise turning, threading, taper turning, and facing operations, making it ideal for machine shops, schools, and engineering labs requiring a versatile and robust manual lathe.
