EGH-1740 With ACU-RITE 303 DRO

Elite Geared Head Lathes combine the durability of Meehanite® castings with precision engineering. They consistently produce high - quality components. The enclosed full - length splash guard, fully lit with CNC - style lighting, is well - designed to hold chips and coolant. Hardened and ground bedways and gears reduce vibration and deflection, ensuring accurate longitudinal movements. With a universal gearbox, it allows for a wide range of threading without gear changes. Turcite - B coatings between the bed and carriage offer smooth and accurate movement. These machines from JET Elite perfectly blend performance and reliability.

Using the Elite Geared Head Lathe EGH - 1740 is straightforward. First, make sure it's properly connected to the power supply based on the amperage draw details (22 amps at 230V 3Ph or 11 amps at 460V 3Ph). Then, select the appropriate spindle speed from the 12 available options within the range of 36 - 1,800 RPM. You can choose different types of threads according to your needs. For inch threads, the range is 2 - 72 TPI, and for metric threads, it's 0.2 - 14. When operating, be aware of the Prop 65 warning about cancer and reproductive harm. Keep the work area clean and ensure the enclosed splash guard is in place to contain chips and coolant. For maintenance, regularly check the bedways and gears for any signs of wear. The hardened and ground bedways and gears help with durability, but it's still important to lubricate them as recommended. Also, check the Turcite - B coatings between the bed and carriage for smooth operation.
