26" x 130" Large Spindle Bore Gear Head Lathe(GH-26130ZH)
The JET GH-26130ZH is the most capable and longest-bed machine in the JET Large Spindle Bore lineup — engineered for oilfield, energy, heavy fabrication, and industrial operations that machine long, large-diameter components daily.
With an extended 130 inches between centers, a commanding 26" swing, and a massive 4.5" spindle bore, the GH-26130ZH is built to handle heavy pipe, drill collars, oilfield shafts, hydraulic cylinders, structural rods, and oversized industrial components in a single setup.
The 15HP, 3-phase motor delivers sustained torque for deep roughing passes and high-load cutting conditions. The D1-11 spindle nose supports heavy-duty workholding systems designed for high-mass components and industrial clamping forces.
The one-piece cast iron base provides the mass and structural rigidity required to maintain alignment across the full 130" bed length. This reduces vibration, limits deflection, and supports consistent surface finishes on long, heavy workpieces.
Twelve spindle speeds (10–1000 RPM) allow operators to balance torque and precision across threading, boring, grooving, and heavy turning operations. The 35" swing over gap further expands clearance for flanges and oversized components.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the GH-26130ZH includes:
- Electronic chuck key holder
- Foot brake for rapid stopping
- Chuck guard at the point of operation
- Full-length splash guard
- Lead screw cover
- Integrated coolant system
- UL 987 Certification
Each machine is inspected prior to shipment and backed by a 2-year parts and labor warranty, delivering predictable ownership and long-term reliability.
For oil & gas suppliers, pipeline contractors, energy-sector manufacturers, heavy repair facilities, and industrial OEMs, the GH-26130ZH delivers maximum length capacity, true large-bore performance, and industrial-grade durability.
