Jet 690184 Vertical Mill 3-axis Acu-rite 200S Dro

Product Description

The JET 690184 is a JTM-4VS vertical knee mill equipped with a factory-installed 3-axis ACU-RITE 200S digital readout system on the quill axis. This machine is built for precision metal removal in job shop, tool room, and light manufacturing environments. The integrated DRO eliminates manual dial readings and improves positional accuracy across X, Y, and Z axes. At 2,420 pounds, the 690184 is a full-size knee mill designed for professional machinists and skilled tradespeople who require repeatable results on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

The JTM-4VS platform is a variable-speed knee mill suited for milling, drilling, and boring operations in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and vocational or industrial training settings. The ACU-RITE 200S DRO comes pre-installed on the quill, reducing setup time compared to field-retrofitted units. This configuration is appropriate for production runs and precision one-off work where manual interpolation of dials introduces unacceptable error margins.

Key Features

• Factory-installed 3-axis ACU-RITE 200S digital readout system for immediate out-of-crate use
• Variable-speed spindle drive on the JTM-4VS platform for broad RPM range without belt changes
• Quill-axis DRO integration for accurate depth-of-cut control during drilling and boring
• Heavy cast iron construction at 2,420 pounds provides rigidity and dampens vibration
• Full-size knee mill geometry supports a wide range of fixturing and workholding configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured vertical knee mill; the ACU-RITE 200S DRO is factory-installed and matched to the JTM-4VS machine geometry. Consult JET documentation for compatible tooling, R8 collets, and approved accessory kits for this platform.

Installation Notes

Installation and leveling of this machine should be performed by a qualified millwright or machinery rigger using appropriate lifting equipment rated for loads exceeding 2,420 pounds. The electrical service connection must comply with applicable NEC requirements for the specified voltage and phase; engage a licensed electrician for final hookup. Disconnect and lock out all power before performing any tooling changes, tramming, or maintenance on the spindle or knee assembly. Refer to the JET operator manual for lubrication points, break-in procedures, and service intervals before placing the machine in production.
