Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the spindle bore diameter on this lathe?
- The spindle bore measures 3-1/8 in., allowing large-diameter bar stock and workpieces to pass through the headstock. The removable gap at the bed further extends the machine's capacity for oversized diameter work near the headstock end.
- What spindle speed range does the GH-1640ZX offer?
- The lathe provides 12 spindle speeds ranging from 25-1,800 RPM, giving operators a broad selection to match cutting conditions for a wide variety of materials and operations.
- Does this lathe require three-phase power?
- Yes. The 7-1/2 HP motor is rated for 230/460 V, 3-phase power. Ensure your facility has the appropriate electrical supply and disconnect before installation.
- How many threading and feed options does the GH-1640ZX support?
- The lathe supports 61 inch thread pitches ranging from 1-5/8-72 TPI and 24 metric thread pitches ranging from .05-20, along with 46 longitudinal feed rates (.0015-.0900 IPR) and 31 cross feed rates (.0006-.0360 IPR). The Universal Gearbox handles these selections without requiring manual gear changes.

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
It is important to assess the product being shipped against your location and material-handling capabilities.
Please be aware that your location needs to be prepared to properly handle and sign for freight shipments. You need to have access to a dock location, a forklift or the ability to unload the product from the freight carrier's trailer.
If your location does not have a traditional loading dock or forklift to unload your LTL freight out of the trailer, a Lift gate service will be required. There will be an additional charge for the service. It varies by carrier and even by market with different carriers. It often depends on the supply and demand of lift gate equipped trucks in your area.
Some machines require Flatbed shipping. There will be an additional charge for this service. Flatbed shipping is for the transportation of cargo that cannot be loaded or unloaded from a dock, or does not fit within the dimensions of standard truck trailers. A flatbed’s design allows for cranes and forklifts to load goods from all angles.
If a shipment is too heavy or the footprint (i.e., panel saws, metalworking lathes, mill/drills) is too large to ship via small parcel carrier (USPS, UPS or FedEx), it is shipped via a freight carrier. Freight shipments are considered tail gate deliveries, meaning that the driver is only responsible for moving the shipment to the rear of the trailer and will not assist with unloading.
For non-commercial deliveries, the freight carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery window and confirm if lift gate services are required. If lift gate service is requested, the driver is responsible for lowering the product to the ground during delivery. Freight shipments delivered to a residential location are considered curb side deliveries, meaning the driver will make the delivery in the street at the end of the customer’s driveway. Freight Carriers are not required to enter driveways to make residential deliveries due to liability and safety issues.
Although most deliveries go smoothly, sometimes there are exceptions beyond our control. Machines weighing over 2,000 pounds, bulky and oversized machines with a large footprint may not be able to be delivered via a lift gate for risk of injury or damage to the machine. There are also inaccessible remote, residential or high density urban areas that freight carriers cannot safely access. If encountered, such shipments are available for dock delivery or will be required to be picked up from the carrier’s terminal.
