Frequently Asked Questions

What threading capabilities does the JET EGH-1740 offer?

The EGH-1740 is equipped with a universal gearbox that supports 45 inch threads, 39 metric threads, 21 diametral pitch threads, and 18 modular pitch threads - all without requiring manual gear changes, making it highly versatile for a wide range of threading operations.

How does the machine protect itself and the operator during overload conditions?

The EGH-1740 incorporates two dedicated safety mechanisms: nylon safety gears in the end train prevent overloading to increase safety, and a shear pin in the lead screw disengages the feed when overloaded, preventing damage to the apron and headstock.

What features help manage chips and coolant during operation?

The machine features a Full Length Splash Guard to contain chips and coolant, an enclosed coolant system that contains excess coolant for increased safety, and a front facing chip pan that allows easy chip removal from the front of the machine.

What is included with the Newall DP700 DRO and how does the one-shot lubrication system benefit maintenance?

The Newall DP700 Digital Readout (DRO) is integrated with the lathe along with a Collet Closer, providing enhanced measurement precision and workholding flexibility right out of the box. The One-Shot lubrication system in the carriage delivers oil to critical points in a single action, significantly reducing routine maintenance demands and extending the service life of the machine.
