Jet 690168 Vertical Knee Mill Acu-rite 200S Dro X Powerfeed

Product Description

The JET 690168 is a vertical knee milling machine configured with an ACU-RITE 200S digital readout (DRO) and an X-axis powerfeed installed at the factory. The JTM-1 platform is a full-size knee mill intended for precision metal removal in job shop, toolroom, and light production environments. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO provides real-time axis position display, reducing layout time and improving repeatability on repeat-part runs. The X-axis powerfeed automates table travel on the longest axis, reducing operator fatigue during extended milling operations. At 2,200 pounds, this is a floor-standing machine requiring proper rigging and a prepared concrete pad for installation.

The JTM-1 is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous material removal operations including face milling, end milling, drilling, and boring. Typical installation environments include machine shops, maintenance facilities, vocational training centers, and toolroom settings. The factory-installed DRO and powerfeed reduce field wiring and setup time compared to field-retrofit configurations. This machine is intended for professional machinists and skilled trade operators working in manual machining applications.

Key Features

• ACU-RITE 200S digital readout installed at factory for real-time X and Y axis position display
• X-axis powerfeed reduces manual table cranking during long-pass milling operations
• Full-size vertical knee mill configuration with vertical spindle and elevating knee
• Heavy cast iron construction provides rigidity and dampens vibration during cuts
• Factory-assembled DRO and powerfeed integration reduces field installation labor

Compatibility

Designed as a complete, self-contained vertical knee milling machine. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO and X-axis powerfeed are pre-installed on the JTM-1 mill platform as part of this specific configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation requires certified rigging equipment rated for a minimum of 2,200 pounds. The machine must be placed on a level concrete floor capable of supporting the operating load and anchored per the manufacturer's installation manual. Electrical connection should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the specified voltage and phase. Verify spindle alignment and table tramming before placing the machine into service.
