Jet 691180 Vertical Milling Machine with Dro Powerfeed

Product Description

The JET 691180 is a vertical knee milling machine configured as the JVM-836-3, paired with a C80 digital readout (DRO) and a powerfeed unit. This combination provides machinists and tool-room operators with a full-featured manual milling setup capable of precision positioning and automated table travel. The DRO delivers real-time axis readout for accurate cut placement, while the powerfeed reduces operator fatigue during extended table traversal. At 1,630 pounds, this is a substantial floor-standing machine intended for professional shop installation.

This mill is suited for job shops, tool rooms, maintenance departments, and vocational training facilities requiring a reliable general-purpose vertical knee mill. Typical applications include face milling, end milling, drilling, and boring operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The integrated DRO and powerfeed make it well-suited for production runs where repeatable positioning is essential. Installation and commissioning are typically performed by millwrights or experienced machine-tool technicians.

Key Features

• JVM-836-3 vertical knee mill configuration with factory-installed C80 DRO for real-time axis position readout
• Powerfeed unit included for automated table travel, reducing manual effort on long cuts
• Three-phase electrical configuration as indicated by the -3 designation
• Heavy cast-iron construction at 1,630 pounds for vibration damping and rigidity
• Designed for tool-room and production environments requiring repeatable milling accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as a self-contained vertical knee milling machine system. The C80 DRO and powerfeed are matched components supplied as part of the JVM-836-3 assembly. Consult the machine documentation for compatible tooling, arbors, and collet systems appropriate to the spindle taper of this model.

Installation Notes

Installation of this machine should be performed by a qualified millwright or machine-tool technician. The unit weighs 1,630 pounds and requires appropriate rigging equipment, a level and adequately reinforced concrete floor, and proper three-phase electrical service connected by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Power down and lock out all electrical sources before performing any adjustments, tooling changes, or service work on the machine.
