Jet 690144 Vertical Mill Acu-rite 200S Dro X-axis Powerfeed

Product Description

The JET 690144 is a vertical milling machine configured with an ACU-RITE 200S digital readout (DRO) and an X-axis powerfeed installed at the factory. This machine is designed for precision metal removal in job shop, maintenance, and light production environments. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving part accuracy. The X-axis powerfeed automates table travel, reducing operator fatigue during long cuts. At 1,625 pounds, this is a full-size knee mill intended for permanent installation on a prepared shop floor.

The JET 690144 suits machine shops, tool rooms, maintenance departments, and vocational training facilities that require a versatile vertical knee mill. Typical applications include face milling, end milling, drilling, and boring of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The factory-installed DRO and powerfeed make it ready to run without additional field integration work, which is a common requirement in production and repair shop settings.

Key Features

• ACU-RITE 200S digital readout installed for real-time X and Y axis position display
• X-axis powerfeed installed for automated table travel and reduced operator fatigue
• Full-size vertical knee mill configuration suitable for job shop and maintenance use
• Factory-integrated accessories eliminate field installation of DRO and powerfeed components
• Substantial 1,625-pound machine mass supports rigid cutting and reduced chatter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured vertical knee milling machine. Tooling compatibility is determined by the spindle taper specification; consult the JET JVM-836-1 documentation for spindle taper and R8 or other collet system requirements before ordering tooling or accessories.

Installation Notes

Installation of a machine at 1,625 pounds requires appropriate rigging equipment and a level, reinforced concrete floor capable of supporting the load. A licensed electrician should verify that the shop electrical service matches the machine voltage and phase requirements before connection. All guards and safety devices must be in place before operation. Follow OSHA machine guarding standards and the manufacturer service manual for initial tramming, lubrication, and break-in procedures.
