Jet GH-1440-3 14” x 40” Three Phase Gear Head Lathe JT1-2710

Description

The JET GH-1440-3 14" x 40" Gear Head Engine Lathe is engineered for shops that require the durability of a traditional geared head lathe with the added control and torque consistency of 3-phase power.

Driven by a 3 HP, 230V, 3-phase motor, the GH-1440-3 features a geared head transmission with 16 spindle speeds ranging from 45–1800 RPM, giving operators greater low-speed torque for threading and heavy cuts while maintaining smooth finishing capability at higher RPMs.

The 2" spindle bore increases bar capacity and reduces secondary operations, allowing shops to handle larger stock efficiently. A D1-5 camlock spindle nose ensures secure chuck mounting and reliable concentricity during heavy turning applications. Unlike many competitor models that treat safety as optional, JET standardizes critical protective features:

• Foot brake for rapid spindle stops
• Chuck guard at the point of operation
• Lead screw cover to prevent chip contamination
• JET electronic chuck key holder to help prevent unsafe startups
• UL 987 electrical certification for compliant installation

These features are validated through JET’s 30-Point Pre-Shipment Inspection, confirming assembly accuracy, gear function, spindle performance, safety systems, and overall machine readiness before shipment.

For cleaner, more efficient operation, the GH-1440-3 includes:

• Integrated coolant system
• Full-length splash guard
• Chip tray for containment and faster cleanup

These built-in systems help reduce downtime and improve shop safety by managing chips and coolant at the source 

Backed by JET’s 2-Year Parts & Labor Warranty, nationwide authorized service network, and U.S.-based technical support, the GH-1440-3 is designed for predictable ownership and long-term uptime.
