The JET ETM-949 Elite Variable Speed Milling Machine combines industrial-grade construction, precise spindle control, and a generous worktable to meet the demands of professional machine shops. Designed for milling, drilling, boring, and other precision metalworking applications, this vertical knee mill provides the flexibility needed for everything from one-off components to repetitive production work.

Powered by a 3 HP, 230V three-phase motor, the ETM-949 offers variable spindle speeds ranging from 60 to 4,500 RPM, allowing operators to select appropriate cutting speeds for different materials, tooling, and machining operations. Its 9″ x 49″ table provides ample space for workholding, while the R-8 spindle taper accommodates a widely used range of milling cutters, collets, and toolholders.

Built with heavy-duty Meehanite castings and precision-machined components, the JET Elite ETM-949 is designed for durability, stability, and consistent performance in demanding shop environments.
