Jet 690182 Vertical Milling Machine 3HP 9x49 R-8 Taper

Product Description

The JET 690182 is a variable-speed vertical milling machine built for production and toolroom environments where precision and power output matter. Rated at 3 horsepower and wired for 3-phase 230/460-volt service, this machine drives an R-8 taper spindle suited for a wide range of milling, drilling, and boring operations. The working table measures 9 inches by 49 inches, providing substantial surface area for fixturing medium to large workpieces. At 2,420 pounds, this is a floor-mount machine intended for permanent shop installation. It is set up and commissioned by qualified millwrights or machining professionals familiar with 3-phase industrial equipment.

The JET 690182 fits production shops, job shops, vocational programs, and toolrooms that require a full-size knee mill with variable spindle speed control. The variable-speed head eliminates the need for manual belt changes across common speed ranges, making it well suited to shops that run mixed materials or frequent setups. The 3-phase power requirement makes this machine appropriate for industrial facilities with an established 3-phase electrical service at 230 or 460 volts.

Key Features

• 3 HP motor with variable-speed spindle control for versatile material removal rates
• 9 x 49 inch worktable provides ample fixturing surface for medium and large workpieces
• R-8 taper spindle compatible with the industry-standard R-8 collet and toolholder system
• 3-phase 230/460V dual-voltage wiring for flexibility across industrial power supplies
• Heavy cast-iron construction at 2,420 pounds for rigidity and vibration damping during cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification vertical knee mill accepting standard R-8 taper tooling, collets, and accessories common to full-size vertical milling machine installations.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a level concrete floor capable of supporting a 2,420-pound static load; use of leveling mounts or a proper machine pad is standard practice. All electrical connections must be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for 3-phase industrial machinery, including proper grounding and disconnect provisions. Verify incoming voltage matches the selected wiring configuration (230V or 460V) before energizing. Commission the machine with the spindle unloaded before placing it into production service.
