Jet GH-1860ZX 18” x 60” Large Spindle Bore Gear Head Lathe with Newall NMS800 DRO JT1-3299

Description

The JET GH-1860ZX is built for shops that demand greater swing capacity, longer turning length, and uncompromising rigidity for heavy industrial applications. With an expanded 18" swing and 60" between centers, this lathe provides the clearance and stability required for large-diameter components, heavy shafts, industrial rollers, and high-mass workpieces.

Powered by a 10HP, 3-phase motor, the GH-1860ZX delivers consistent torque for aggressive roughing cuts and dependable performance under sustained load. The 3.15" spindle bore allows larger material to pass directly through the headstock, reducing secondary operations and improving shop throughput.

The one-piece cast iron base is engineered to dampen vibration and resist flex during heavy cuts, supporting improved surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and repeatable results in demanding environments. Twelve spindle speeds ranging from 26–1500 RPM provide the flexibility to move from heavy stock removal to precision threading and finishing operations.

Operator protection is standard — not optional. The GH-1860ZX includes:

• Electronic chuck key holder
• Foot brake for rapid stopping
• Chuck guard at point of operation
• Full-length splash guard
• Lead screw cover
• UL 987 Certification

Each machine undergoes a documented pre-shipment inspection process to verify accuracy, safety systems, and operational readiness before arriving at your facility.

Backed by an industry-leading 2-year parts and labor warranty, the GH-1860ZX is ideal for fabrication facilities, oil and gas suppliers, energy contractors, heavy repair operations, and industrial production shops that require durability, safety, and long-term reliability. 

Features

• Expanded 18" Swing for Larger Workpieces Increased swing capacity allows machining of larger diameter components while maintaining stability and clearance for tooling.
• 60" Between Centers for Long-Part Capability Turn shafts, rollers, and extended cylindrical components in a single setup to reduce repositioning and maintain alignment.
• 10HP Industrial-Grade Torque Delivers the power needed for deep cuts, harder materials, and sustained production environments without bogging down.
• 3.15" Large Spindle Bore Run larger stock through the headstock to minimize re-chucking and secondary operations.
• Rigid One-Piece Cast Iron Construction Heavy cast iron mass absorbs vibration, limits deflection, and supports consistent dimensional accuracy under load.
• Standard Certified Safety Systems UL 987 Certified with integrated foot brake, chuck guard, electronic chuck key holder, and lead screw cover for reinforced operator protection.
• Built for Industrial Uptime Verified prior to shipment and backed by a 2-year parts and labor warranty to support predictable ownership costs. 
• Included option: 2-Axis Digital Readout (DRO)
