Jet 690177 Vertical Mill Acu-rite 200S Dro

Product Description

The JET 690177 is a vertical milling machine supplied with an ACU-RITE 200S digital readout (DRO) factory installed. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO gives the operator real-time axis position feedback, reducing manual measurement steps and improving repeatability on production or job-shop work. Weighing 1,635 pounds, this is a floor-standing machine built for sustained cutting duty in metal fabrication, toolroom, and general machining environments. It is sized and specified for installation by qualified millwrights or machine-tool technicians in a commercial or industrial shop setting.

This machine is suited for toolroom, job-shop, and light production milling applications. Typical uses include face milling, end milling, drilling, and boring operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The pre-installed DRO eliminates a separate field-installation step, making it ready for productive use after leveling, connection to three-phase power, and initial tramming. The JVM-836-1 platform is designed for vertical knee-mill work in professional shop environments.

Key Features

• ACU-RITE 200S digital readout installed at the factory — no field DRO installation required
• Vertical knee-mill configuration for versatile milling, drilling, and boring operations
• Substantial 1,635-pound machine mass supports rigid cutting and reduced vibration
• Sold as a single complete unit — machine and DRO ship together

Compatibility

The ACU-RITE 200S DRO is integrated with the JET JVM-836-1 vertical milling machine. No additional DRO kit or separate scale installation is required for this configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or industrial electrician. The machine requires a proper electrical service connection — confirm voltage and phase requirements against local codes before wiring. Level the machine on a suitable concrete floor using a precision machinist level before tramming the head. Always disconnect and lock out power before performing any service, tooling changes, or adjustments to the spindle or quill assembly.
