Jet 691187 Vertical Mill Newall C80 2-axis Dro

Product Description

The JET 691187 is a full-size vertical knee mill equipped with a Newall C80 2-axis digital readout (DRO) system, designed for precision metal removal in machine shop and industrial environments. The JET JTM-1 platform is a well-established vertical milling machine used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals for face milling, end milling, drilling, and boring operations. The integrated Newall C80 DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving part repeatability without manual dial calculations. At 2,200 pounds, this is a floor-standing, production-grade machine intended for permanent shop installation.

The JTM-1 mill is suited for job shops, maintenance facilities, vocational training programs, and light production environments where a rigid, reliable knee mill is required. It handles both ferrous and non-ferrous materials and is appropriate for one-off prototype work as well as short-run production. The Newall C80 DRO is a practical add-on for shops transitioning from manual readout methods to digital positioning, making this configuration a common choice for shops that need accuracy without full CNC investment.

Key Features

• Newall C80 2-axis DRO included for real-time X and Y axis position readout
• JTM-1 vertical knee mill platform built for rigid, accurate milling operations
• Supports face milling, end milling, drilling, and boring applications
• Production-grade construction at 2,200 pounds for shop floor stability
• Suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed for use as a standalone vertical knee milling machine; the Newall C80 DRO is factory-integrated to the JTM-1 mill platform as supplied under part number 691187.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified millwright or machine tool technician. The machine requires a reinforced concrete floor capable of supporting the 2,200-pound static load, and must be leveled with precision leveling pads or mounts before operation. Electrical connection must comply with local codes and the nameplate voltage and amperage requirements before powering the unit. Disconnect and lock out all power before performing any tooling changes, DRO sensor adjustments, or maintenance procedures.
