Jet 691202 Vertical Mill 3-axis Newall C80 Dro

Product Description

The JET 691202 is a variable-speed vertical milling machine equipped with a 3-axis Newall C80 digital readout (DRO) on the quill axis. It is built for precision metal-removal operations including face milling, end milling, drilling, and boring. The integrated DRO system provides real-time positional feedback on X, Y, and Z axes, reducing setup time and improving repeatability on production and toolroom work. At 2,230 pounds, this is a full-size knee mill intended for installation in a professional machine shop environment. Setup and commissioning are performed by qualified millwrights or machine tool technicians.

The JET 691202 suits toolrooms, job shops, and maintenance departments that require a rigid, full-featured knee mill for general-purpose and precision machining. The variable-speed head allows the operator to dial in spindle RPM without changing belt positions, making it practical for a wide range of cutting tools and materials. The Newall C80 DRO is a field-proven readout system widely used in retrofits and OEM mill packages, providing a familiar interface for experienced machinists.

Key Features

• 3-axis Newall C80 digital readout with quill axis display for precise depth control
• Variable-speed drive head eliminates manual belt changes across the RPM range
• Full-size knee mill construction provides rigidity for heavy cuts and tight tolerances
• Machine weight of 2,230 pounds indicates a robust cast-iron frame and column
• Quill-mounted DRO axis supports accurate drilling and boring depth repeatability

Compatibility

Designed as a self-contained OEM machine tool package; the Newall C80 DRO is factory-installed and configured for the JTM-4VS knee mill platform.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a qualified millwright or rigger due to the machine weight of 2,230 pounds; appropriate lifting equipment and anchor hardware must be used. The machine should be leveled on a reinforced concrete floor using precision machinist levels before initial operation. Electrical connection must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the specified voltage and phase configuration. Verify all axis scales and DRO calibration before placing the machine into service.
