The JET JTM-949EVS milling machine combines electronic spindle speed control, heavy-duty construction, and precision-machined components to meet the demands of professional machine shops. Designed for toolrooms, fabrication facilities, maintenance departments, and industrial machining operations, this vertical knee mill provides the power and flexibility needed for milling, drilling, boring, and precision metalworking applications.
Powered by a 3 HP, 230V three-phase motor, the JTM-949EVS features electronic variable spindle speeds ranging from 60 to 4,500 RPM. Its two operating speed ranges allow operators to adjust spindle speed to accommodate different cutting tools, materials, and machining requirements.
The 9″ x 49″ worktable provides ample room for vises, fixtures, and larger workpieces. With 36″ of longitudinal travel, 12″ of cross travel, and 15-3/4″ of knee travel, the machine offers a generous working envelope for a variety of machining applications.
The JET JTM-949EVS milling machine features an R-8 spindle taper, making it compatible with a wide selection of commonly available milling collets, cutters, and toolholders. Its 5″ spindle travel and three quill downfeed rates provide additional versatility for drilling and boring operations.
Constructed with certified Meehanite castings and hardened, matched knee gears, the JTM-949EVS is designed for rigidity, durability, and consistent machining performance in demanding industrial environments.
