Specifications may differ by exact JET model or stock number. Confirm the manufacturer's current specifications for the exact configuration before purchase.
6-Speed Geared Head
The machine's 6-speed geared head transfers power mechanically to the spindle, providing useful torque for both drilling and milling.
With a spindle range of approximately 65–1,550 RPM, operators can select a suitable speed based on cutter diameter, material, and machining operation.
Lower speeds are appropriate for larger tooling and heavier cuts, while higher speeds can be used with smaller cutters when appropriate.
Newall DP500 2-Axis DRO
The Newall DP500 2-axis digital readout provides digital position information for the machine's primary table axes.
It can make setup and machining easier by helping operators:
- Establish workpiece zero points.
- Locate holes accurately.
- Position slots and pockets.
- Repeat machining dimensions.
- Monitor table movement.
- Return to previously established coordinates.
For jobs containing multiple features, the DRO can simplify coordinate positioning compared with relying only on graduated handwheels.
X-Axis Powerfeed
The integrated X-axis powerfeed provides powered longitudinal movement of the worktable.
Rather than manually turning the table handwheel throughout a long milling pass, the operator can use the powerfeed to produce smoother and more consistent table movement.
It is particularly useful for:
- Face milling
- Surface machining
- Long edge cuts
- Repetitive milling passes
- Consistent material removal
Feed rate should be matched to the cutter, material, spindle speed, and depth of cut.
R8 Spindle
The R8 spindle taper provides compatibility with a broad range of milling accessories.
Common tooling options include:
- R8 collets
- End mills
- Drill chucks
- Boring tools
- Face mills
- Other R8-compatible accessories
The machine's published capacities include:
- 1-1/2-inch drilling
- 4-inch face milling
- 3/4-inch end milling
Actual cutting performance depends on the workpiece material, cutter, spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and workholding.
Square-Column Construction
The rigid square column and dovetail ways provide a stable foundation for the head and spindle assembly.
This design is suited to machining operations such as:
- Face milling
- End milling
- Slotting
- Boring
- Drilling
- Counterboring
- General material removal
A properly secured workpiece and suitable cutting parameters remain essential for maintaining accuracy.
Tilting Head
The milling head can tilt 90° left and 90° right, allowing the spindle to be positioned for angular work.
This capability can be useful for:
- Angled holes
- Beveled surfaces
- Angular milling
- Specialized fixtures
- Non-standard setups
The head should be securely locked in position before machining.
Worktable and Travel
The 9-1/2 x 32-1/4-inch worktable offers a substantial working surface for workpieces, vises, clamps, and fixtures.
Table travel is approximately:
- 20-1/2 inches longitudinally
- 8-1/4 inches crosswise
The 5/8-inch T-slots provide mounting points for compatible workholding equipment.
Motor and Electrical Configuration
The machine uses a 1.5 HP single-phase motor with a 115/230V electrical configuration.
This provides flexibility for workshops with suitable electrical service. The machine must be configured for the correct supply voltage before operation, following manufacturer instructions and applicable electrical requirements.
Typical Applications
This JET mill/drill is suitable for:
- Professional machine shops
- Fabrication shops
- Maintenance departments
- Equipment repair
- Tool rooms
- Prototype machining
- Small-batch production
- General metalworking
- Industrial maintenance
The combination of digital positioning and X-axis powerfeed makes it particularly useful for repetitive milling and dimensionally controlled work.

Benefits for Professional Users
Digital Positioning
The Newall DP500 DRO provides convenient digital feedback for X/Y table positioning.
Powered Table Movement
The X-powerfeed reduces operator effort during longer milling passes.
Geared-Head Performance
Six spindle speeds provide useful mechanical torque across a broad range of machining applications.
R8 Tooling Compatibility
The R8 spindle accommodates a wide selection of standard milling accessories.
Rigid Machine Structure
The square column and dovetail ways provide a stable machining platform.
Flexible Head Adjustment
The 90° left/right head tilt expands the machine's range of machining configurations.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is important for preserving machining accuracy and extending equipment life.
Inspect and maintain:
- Spindle and bearings
- Gear head
- X-axis powerfeed
- Column and dovetail ways
- Table and T-slots
- Lead screws
- DRO scales and cables
- Electrical connections
- Lubrication points
Remove chips from the table and ways after machining. Keep the DRO scales clean and protected from metal chips and coolant.
Follow the manufacturer's recommended lubrication and maintenance schedule.
Safety Considerations
Always wear appropriate eye protection and use PPE suitable for the material and machining process.
Secure workpieces firmly with a suitable vise, clamp, or fixture. Never hold material by hand during milling or drilling.
Keep hands, loose clothing, jewelry, and hair away from rotating tooling and moving machine components.
Do not measure, adjust, reposition workpieces, or remove chips while the machine is operating.
Disconnect the electrical supply before performing maintenance or servicing electrical or moving components.
