JPW INDUSTRIES (JET MACHINERY) GH-1660-ZX 321940 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The JET GH-1660ZX is a precision 16" x 60" geared head lathe engineered for heavy-duty metal working operations. This horizontal machining center features a robust single main spindle delivering 7.5 HP at speeds up to 1,800 RPM, supported by two tapered and one ball bearing for optimal stability and precision. The spindle bore measures 3-1/8 inches and accommodates both 10-inch and 12-inch chucks, enabling maximum turning diameters of 8.63 inches and lengths of 60 inches between centers. The machine incorporates a two-axis slide-mounted tool carrier with capacity for four turning tools, allowing sequential single-point cutting operations. Featuring 55 inches of Z-axis carriage travel, this lathe provides extensive workpiece accessibility and accommodates large diameter work through its removable gap design. The machine utilizes a one-piece cast iron base with ANSI Class 50 wear-resistant hardened and ground bed ways to absorb vibration and enable heavier cuts. Its universal gearbox eliminates the need for change gears, providing 61 inch threads and 24 metric thread ranges with 122 total longitudinal and cross feed rates. The T-slotted compound slide includes a four-way tool post for versatile tool positioning. A five-position automatic carriage stop enhances productivity while chrome molybdenum hardened gears ensure durability. Standard equipment includes both 10-inch three-jaw scroll and 12-inch four-jaw independent chucks, alongside a 12-inch face plate and comprehensive adjusting tools, making this lathe ideal for precision threading, facing, and production turning applications.
