The JET JTM-4VS milling machine combines industrial-grade construction, precision-machined components, and versatile spindle control to meet the demands of professional machine shops. Designed for toolrooms, fabrication facilities, maintenance departments, and production machining applications, this vertical knee mill delivers dependable performance for a wide range of metalworking operations.
Featuring a spacious 9″ x 49″ precision worktable and variable spindle speeds from 60 to 4,200 RPM, the JTM-4VS allows operators to adjust cutting speeds to accommodate different materials, cutting tools, and machining requirements. Its R-8 spindle taper accepts commonly used milling collets, end mill holders, and other machining accessories.
The JET JTM-4VS milling machine is available in two electrical configurations. The standard JTM-4VS features a 3 HP, 230/460V three-phase motor, while the JTM-4VS-1 offers a 2 HP, 115/230V single-phase motor. These options allow shops to select the machine best suited to their available electrical service.
Built with heavy-duty Meehanite castings, precision-ground components, and a robust milling head, the JTM-4VS series is designed to provide stability, rigidity, and consistent performance in demanding machining environments.
