Jet 691179 Vertical Milling Machine with C80-DRO

Product Description

The JET 691179 is a vertical knee milling machine equipped with a C80 digital readout (DRO) system, configured as a three-axis mill for precision metalworking applications. Designated as the JVM-836-3 model, it is built for production and tool room environments where accurate positioning and repeatable cuts are required. At 1,625 pounds, this is a heavy-duty floor-standing unit intended for professional machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and vocational training programs. The integrated C80-DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving part accuracy without relying on manual dial readings.

This mill is suited for job shops, production machining environments, and industrial maintenance departments that require a full-size vertical knee mill. The JVM-836-3 configuration supports standard milling, drilling, boring, and slotting operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is a professional-grade machine installed and operated by machinists and toolmakers in metalworking trades.
