Product Details

• 3.15” Spindle Bore
• 12 Spindle Speeds (26–1500 RPM)
• 10HP 230V 3 PH Motor
• 2-Axis Digital Readout (DRO)
• Description
• The JET GH-1660ZX is built for shops that need extended turning length without sacrificing spindle capacity or horsepower. With 60 inches between centers, a 3.15" spindle bore, and a 10HP 3-phase motor, this large spindle bore gear head lathe delivers the reach and torque required for longer shafts, rollers, hydraulic components, and heavy cylindrical parts.
• The added bed length compared to 40" models expands job capability, allowing fabrication, MRO, and industrial repair shops to machine longer workpieces in a single setup — reducing repositioning time and improving accuracy across the entire part.
• A D1-8 spindle nose supports heavy-duty workholding, while 12 spindle speeds (26–1500 RPM) provide the control needed for precision threading, deep boring, aggressive roughing, and finish turning.
• The GH-1660ZX features a rigid one-piece cast iron base designed to dampen vibration and maintain alignment during heavy cuts. Larger stock can pass directly through the headstock, reducing cutoffs and secondary operations.
• Operator safety and compliance are standard. The machine includes:
• Electronic chuck key holder
• Foot brake
• Chuck guard
• Lead screw cover
• Full-length splash guard
• UL 987 Certification
• Each unit undergoes JET’s documented 30-Point Inspection prior to shipment to verify spindle accuracy, gear function, safety validation, and operational readiness.
• Backed by JET’s industry-leading 2-year parts and labor warranty, the GH-1660ZX is a reliable solution for fabrication facilities, energy suppliers, industrial maintenance departments, and machine shops expanding into longer-part turning.
• Features
• Extended 60" Between Centers Ideal for longer shafts, rollers, and cylindrical components — machine longer parts in one setup to improve alignment and reduce rework
• 10HP Industrial Power Delivers torque for aggressive roughing passes and heavy material removal while maintaining consistent cutting performance
• 3.15" Large Spindle Bore Allows larger diameter material to pass through the headstock, minimizing cutoffs and improving workflow efficiency
• Rigid One-Piece Cast Iron Base Reduces vibration under load, supporting repeatable accuracy and improved surface finish during demanding applications
• Built-In Certified Safety UL 987 Certified with standard electronic chuck key holder, foot brake, chuck guard, and lead screw cover for reinforced operator protection
• Pre-Shipment Verified Performance JET’s 30-Point Inspection ensures controls, spindle accuracy, safety systems, and gear engagement are validated before delivery
