Jet 690098 Vertical Mill Acu-rite 200S Dro X Y Powerfeed

Product Description

The JET 690098 is a vertical milling machine configured with the ACU-RITE 200S digital readout system and both X-axis and Y-axis powerfeeds factory installed. Designed for precision metal removal in machine shop environments, this mill delivers manual knee-style operation with the added efficiency of powered table movement on two axes. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO provides real-time position feedback, reducing setup time and improving dimensional accuracy across repetitive operations. At 2420 pounds, this is a full-size knee mill intended for professional shop use. Installation and commissioning are performed by qualified millwrights or machine tool technicians.

The JET 690098 is suited for job shops, tool rooms, and production environments requiring a versatile vertical knee mill. The factory-installed X and Y powerfeeds reduce operator fatigue during long milling passes and improve surface finish consistency. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO integrates directly with the table axes to provide accurate position readout without relying on manual dials alone. This configuration is a common choice for facilities transitioning from manual-only mills toward semi-automated workflows without the cost of full CNC conversion.

Key Features

• ACU-RITE 200S digital readout system factory installed for real-time axis position feedback
• X-axis and Y-axis powerfeeds installed at the factory for consistent, hands-free table travel
• Full-size vertical knee mill construction at 2420 pounds for rigidity and vibration damping
• Reduces manual dial dependency, improving repeatability on production runs
• Sold as a complete, ready-to-run assembly — DRO and powerfeeds are not add-ons

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured vertical knee milling machine. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO and powerfeed assemblies are matched and installed by the manufacturer to this specific mill platform.

Installation Notes

Installation of this machine requires a qualified millwright or rigging crew due to the 2420-pound shipping weight — do not attempt to move or position this unit without appropriate lifting equipment and anchor planning. The electrical supply must be verified against the machine nameplate before connection, and all wiring should comply with applicable NEC requirements for machinery installations. Level the mill on a reinforced concrete floor using the adjustable feet and a precision level before initial operation. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for spindle tramming and DRO axis calibration procedures prior to first use.
