Jet Equipment JT9-690144 Vertical Milling Machine 115 230V

Product Description

The JET EQUIPMENT JT9-690144 is a vertical milling machine configured as the JVM-836-1, designed for precision metal removal in professional machine shop and industrial maintenance environments. The unit ships with an Acu-Rite 200S digital readout and an X-axis powerfeed, reducing manual crank fatigue during production runs. The milling head is precision bored and honed, and the 8 x 36 inch table is hardened and ground to maintain dimensional tolerances through repeated use. Locks on all movable surfaces add a layer of control and safety during setup and cutting operations. The machine runs on 115 or 230 volt single-phase power, making it compatible with standard shop electrical service. Licensed machinists and skilled tradespeople perform installation and commissioning of this class of machine.

The JVM-836-1 is suited for residential shops, vocational training facilities, and light industrial maintenance departments requiring a full-size knee-style vertical mill. The Acu-Rite 200S DRO provides digital axis position feedback, which is standard practice for repeatable part production. The included X-axis powerfeed automates table travel, supporting consistent feed rates during face milling and slotting operations. The machine accepts standard R-8 tooling common to Bridgeport-style vertical mills, and the head tilts left or right for angular work. A graduated scale on the column, precision ground dovetail ways, and a one-shot lubrication system support accurate, low-maintenance operation over long service intervals.

Key Features

• Precision bored and honed milling head for consistent spindle alignment and tolerance retention
• Hardened and ground 8 x 36 inch table with locks on all movable surfaces
• Acu-Rite 200S digital readout included for real-time axis position feedback
• X-axis powerfeed included for automated, consistent table travel
• Over 10 inches of front-to-back ram travel for extended reach setups
• One-shot lubrication system with way covers for simplified maintenance
• Head tilts left or right with graduated column scale for angular milling operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured vertical milling machine in the JET JVM-836 series, compatible with standard R-8 spindle tooling used in Bridgeport-style vertical mills.

Installation Notes

Installation and leveling should be performed by a qualified machinist or millwright familiar with floor-mounted machine tools. Verify that the electrical supply matches the selected voltage configuration before connecting power, and ensure all lockout and tagout procedures are followed prior to any electrical work. The machine weight requires appropriate rigging equipment and a reinforced concrete floor or suitable equipment pad. Consult local electrical codes for single-phase service requirements before final connection.
