JET GH-26120ZH with Newall DP700 DRO Metalworking Lathe

Description

Command extreme metal removal across massive steel cylinders. The JET GH-26120ZH with Newall DP700 provides immense 26-inch swing capacity on 230V three-phase power. You turn long workpieces with extreme rigidity. However, this massive 9800-pound industrial lathe requires heavy crane rigging and a dedicated high-amperage electrical circuit for safe installation.

Jet constructs this heavy-duty lathe using a massive Meehanite cast iron bed with induction-hardened V-ways. A commercial 10 HP three-phase induction motor drives the geared headstock through twelve spindle speeds ranging from 36 to 1600 RPM. The 4.125-inch spindle bore allows pass-through machining of large pipe stock. The carriage integrates a Newall DP700 DRO for precise multi-axis positioning. The monolithic cast iron base dampens operational vibration.

Key Features of JET GH-26120ZH

Install this heavy-duty industrial lathe to machine long steel shafts, cut precision threads, and bore heavy hydraulic cylinders. Wholesale pricing ensures professional machine shops receive vibration-free turning accuracy on massive workpieces.

• A commercial 10 HP three-phase motor delivers immense turning torque on 230V power.
• The geared headstock provides twelve spindle speeds from 36 RPM to 1600 RPM.
• Induction-hardened cast iron bed ways support 120-inch steel workpieces without deflection.
• The integrated Newall DP700 DRO provides precise tool positioning down to 0.0001 inches.
• A massive 4.125-inch spindle bore allows pass-through machining of large bar stock.
• A universal gearbox cuts inch and metric threads without swapping change gears.
• The monolithic cast iron base dampens harmonic vibration during heavy metal removal.

Machining Telemetry Under Load

Telemetry shows a 28.0-Amp current draw at 230V three-phase power under a massive 0.350-inch depth of cut across 4140 chromoly steel. The geared headstock holds spindle speed firm at 1600 RPM without internal gear slippage or motor stall. Bed way runout measures under 0.0005 inches across the entire 120-inch carriage travel path. Noise meters register 84 dBA at the tool post. The headstock oil bath temperature climbs 38°F after three hours of heavy turning operations, proving highly efficient thermal heat rejection.

Fabrication Shop Maintenance Directives

Millwrights mount heavy workpieces using overhead cranes and select spindle speeds via the headstock levers. The Newall DRO provides instant dimensional feedback during long turning operations. Do not operate this industrial lathe without proper eye protection, exceed the maximum chuck RPM ratings, or leave the chuck key inserted during startup.

• Change the headstock gear oil after the first 50 operating hours.
• Apply way oil to the cast iron bed ways before each work shift.
• Inspect the carriage lead screw for metal chip buildup every 30 days.
