Combining the durability and strength of Meehanite® castings with precision engineering, Elite Geared Head Lathes turn out high quality components turn after turn. Fully lit with CNC style lighting, the enclosed full-length splash guard is expertly designed to contain all chips and coolant. Hardened and ground bedways and gears help reduce vibration, deflection, and provide accurate longitudinal movements. Designed with a universal gearbox to allow for a wide range of threading without gear changes, and Turcite-B coatings between the bed and carriage to provide smooth and accurate movement, these machines provide the perfect blend of performance and reliability you can come to expect from JET Elite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan id=\"prod-features\"
