Combining the durability of Meehanite castings with hardened and ground bedways, a universal gearbox, and Turcite-B coated carriage surfaces, this lathe delivers smooth, accurate longitudinal movement and a wide threading range without constant gear changes. CNC-style enclosed lighting and a full-length splash guard keep the work area visible and contained, while thoughtful safety and lubrication systems reduce downtime and protect critical machine components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-Position Carriage Stop for repeatable, precise positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-Float design eliminates backlash in the cross slide, ensuring accurate cross-feed movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnclosed coolant system contains excess coolant for increased safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront facing chip pan allows easy chip removal from the front of the machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Length Splash Guard keeps chips and coolant contained throughout operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon safety gears in the end train prevent overloading, increasing safety and protecting the drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-Shot lubrication in the carriage reduces maintenance requirements and extends service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShear pin in the lead screw disengages the feed when overloaded, preventing damage to the apron and headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteady rests feature ball bearing guides for smooth material movements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeared Head drive for robust, direct power transmission across all 12 spindle speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal gearbox supports a wide range of threading without gear changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened and ground bedways and gears reduce vibration and deflection for accurate results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurcite-B coatings between bed and carriage provide smooth and accurate movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully enclosed, CNC-style lighting illuminates the work zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMPN:\u003c\/strong\u003e JT9-892505\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Geared Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Spindle Speeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Inch Threads:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Metric Threads:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiametral Pitch Threads Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModular Pitch Threads Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompound Slide Travel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-2\/7 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Gap:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-2\/3 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Tool Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 1 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Dimensions (L x W x H):\u003c\/strong\u003e 94 x 44 x 68 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage Draw @ 230V 3Ph:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage Draw @ 460V 3Ph:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProp 65:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cancer and Reproductive Harm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taiwan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many spindle speeds does the JET EGH-1740 provide, and what type of drive system powers them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe EGH-1740 offers 12 spindle speeds delivered through a Geared Head drive system, which provides direct, positive power transmission for heavy-duty turning operations.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat threading capabilities does this lathe support?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThis lathe supports 45 inch threads, 39 metric threads, 21 diametral pitch threads, and 18 modular pitch threads  -  all accessible through a universal gearbox that allows a wide range of threading without requiring constant gear changes.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat safety features are built into the EGH-1740 to protect the operator and the machine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eMultiple safety systems are integrated into this lathe. Nylon safety gears in the end train prevent overloading. A shear pin in the lead screw disengages the feed when overloaded, preventing damage to the apron and headstock. The enclosed coolant system contains excess coolant, and the full-length splash guard keeps chips and coolant within the work envelope during operation.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Anti-Float design benefit machining accuracy on this lathe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe Anti-Float design eliminates backlash in the cross slide, which means the cutting tool maintains precise, repeatable positioning during cross-feed movements.
