Geared-Head Performance
The 6-speed geared head provides mechanical power directly to the spindle. Its approximately 65–1,550 RPM range gives operators flexibility when working with different cutter diameters and materials.
Lower spindle speeds can be selected for larger tooling and heavier cuts, while higher speeds are suitable for smaller cutters and appropriate finishing operations.
The geared transmission is particularly useful when maintaining spindle torque is important during demanding machining work.
Newall DP500 2-Axis DRO
The integrated Newall DP500 2-axis digital readout provides digital position information for the machine's primary table axes.
The DRO can simplify:
- Hole positioning
- Workpiece setup
- Repeated dimensions
- Slot and pocket positioning
- X/Y coordinate work
- Returning to established positions
- Monitoring table movement
Digital feedback can reduce the need to rely exclusively on graduated handwheel markings when positioning the worktable.
R8 Spindle
The R8 spindle taper is a widely used milling-machine tooling interface. It provides access to a broad range of compatible accessories, including collets, end mills, drill chucks, boring tools, and face mills.
The machine's stated capacities include:
- 1-1/2-inch drilling capacity
- 4-inch face-mill capacity
- 3/4-inch end-mill capacity
Actual capacity will depend on the material being machined, cutter type, spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and workholding setup.
Rigid Square-Column Design
The machine uses a square column with dovetail ways to support the head and spindle assembly. This rigid construction provides a stable platform for drilling and milling operations.
It is suitable for:
- Face milling
- End milling
- Slotting
- Boring
- Drilling
- Counterboring
- General stock removal
A rigid machine setup should always be combined with appropriate workholding and cutting parameters.
Tilting Head
The head can tilt 90° to the left and 90° to the right, allowing the spindle to be positioned for angular machining operations.
This capability is useful for:
- Angled holes
- Beveled surfaces
- Angular milling
- Specialized fixtures
- Non-standard machining setups
The head must be securely locked before beginning any cutting operation.
Worktable and Travel
The 9-1/2 x 32-1/4-inch worktable provides a substantial mounting surface for workpieces, vises, clamps, and fixtures.
The table provides approximately:
- 20-1/2 inches of longitudinal travel
- 8-1/4 inches of cross travel
The 5/8-inch T-slots allow compatible workholding equipment to be mounted securely.
Motor and Electrical Configuration
The mill/drill is powered by a 1.5 HP single-phase motor with a 115/230V configuration.
This allows the machine to be connected to a suitable electrical supply depending on the workshop installation. Correct voltage configuration and electrical installation should be completed according to manufacturer instructions and applicable electrical codes.
Typical Applications
The JET Geared Head Mill/Drill is suitable for:
- Professional machine shops
- Fabrication facilities
- Maintenance departments
- Equipment repair
- Tool rooms
- Prototype machining
- Small-batch production
- General metalworking
- Industrial maintenance
- Technical training
The combination of geared-head drive and digital positioning makes the machine useful for both routine and more precise machining work.

Flexible Head Positioning
The 90° left/right head tilt expands the machine's range of machining configurations.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps preserve machining accuracy and extend equipment life.
Inspect and maintain:
- Spindle and bearings
- Gear head
- Quill and fine downfeed
- Column and dovetail ways
- Table and T-slots
- Lead screws
- DRO scales and cables
- Electrical connections
- Lubrication points
Clean chips from the table and ways after machining. Keep the DRO scales protected from metal chips, coolant, and other contaminants.
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 operation.
Secure workpieces firmly with an appropriate vise, clamp, or fixture. Never hold material by hand during drilling or milling.
Keep hands, loose clothing, jewelry, and hair away from rotating tooling and moving components.
Do not measure, adjust, reposition a workpiece, or remove chips while the spindle is rotating.
Disconnect the machine from its electrical supply before performing maintenance or servicing electrical or moving components.
