Jet 691193 Vertical Knee Mill with Newall C80 Dro

Product Description

The JET 691193 is a vertical knee mill equipped with a Newall C80 digital readout (DRO) system, designed for precision milling operations in machine shops and industrial environments. The knee mill configuration allows the operator to adjust table height independently of the spindle, providing versatility across a wide range of cutting tasks including facing, slotting, drilling, and contouring. At 2,200 pounds, this is a full-size, floor-standing machine intended for professional installation and operation by machinists and millwrights in production or job-shop settings. The integrated Newall C80 DRO provides real-time axis position readout to improve accuracy and reduce setup time on repetitive or tight-tolerance work.

The JET 691193 is suited for use in professional machine shops, toolrooms, vocational training facilities, and light manufacturing environments. Its vertical knee mill design supports standard milling work on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The Newall C80 DRO makes this configuration particularly well-suited for shops transitioning from manual operation toward more precise, repeatable setups without moving to full CNC. Installation requires a prepared concrete floor with appropriate anchor provisions and a qualified electrical hookup by a licensed electrician per local codes.

Key Features

• Vertical knee mill design allows independent vertical table adjustment for versatile workpiece positioning
• Newall C80 digital readout system provides real-time axis position display for improved machining accuracy
• Full-size, heavy-duty construction at 2,200 pounds for rigidity and vibration damping during cuts
• Sold as a complete unit with DRO factory-integrated, reducing field installation complexity
• Designed for professional machine shop and industrial toolroom use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured vertical knee mill unit; the Newall C80 DRO is matched and integrated at the factory for this JET JTM-2 platform.

Installation Notes

Installation of this machine requires millwrights or qualified machine installation personnel due to the 2,200-pound weight — rigging, lifting equipment, and a prepared floor surface are required before placement. Electrical connection must be performed by a licensed electrician in compliance with applicable NEC requirements for the machine's specified voltage and phase. Power must be fully disconnected and locked out before any service, adjustment, or tooling changes are made. Consult the JET JTM-2 installation and operation manual for leveling procedures and lubrication requirements prior to first use.
