JET JMD-18 Mill/Drill with ACU-RITE 203 DRO
Product Overview
The JET JMD-18 Mill/Drill with ACU-RITE 203 DRO is a versatile metalworking machine designed to provide both drilling and milling capabilities in a compact, shop-friendly format. It combines the proven JMD-18 mill/drill platform with an ACU-RITE 203 digital readout, giving operators a convenient way to monitor machine positioning during machining operations.
With a 2 HP single-phase motor, R-8 spindle taper, and 12 spindle speeds from 150 to 3,000 RPM, the JMD-18 can accommodate a wide range of drilling and milling tasks. Its large cast-iron work table and 360° swiveling head further increase its flexibility for general-purpose machining, maintenance, fabrication, repair, and prototype work.
The ACU-RITE 203 DRO adds digital positioning feedback, making it easier to locate machining features and repeat dimensions without relying solely on graduated handwheels.
Key Features
2 HP motor provides substantial power for drilling and milling applications.
ACU-RITE 203 digital readout provides convenient digital positioning information.
12 spindle speeds ranging from 150 to 3,000 RPM accommodate different cutters and materials.
R-8 spindle taper accepts a wide selection of standard milling tooling.
1-1/4-inch drilling capacity handles demanding general-purpose drilling.
3-inch face-mill capacity supports larger milling cutters.
3/4-inch end-mill capacity accommodates common end-milling operations.
360° swiveling head provides flexibility for angled machining.
One-piece cast-iron column provides a rigid structural foundation.
Heavy-duty tapered roller bearings support the spindle.
Large cast-iron table provides a stable surface for workpieces and fixtures.
20-1/2-inch longitudinal table travel provides useful positioning range.
Internal depth gauge helps establish repeatable drilling depths.
Quick-stop knob provides a convenient reference for repetitive drilling.
Forward/reverse spindle control adds operating flexibility.
Work light improves visibility around the cutting area.
ACU-RITE 203 Digital Readout
The installed ACU-RITE 203 DRO is designed to give the operator a clear digital reference for machine-axis movement. This is especially helpful when locating holes, slots, edges, and other features that need to be positioned accurately.
Rather than relying exclusively on handwheel graduations, the operator can use the DRO to monitor movement and establish repeatable positions. This can simplify setup and reduce the possibility of errors when transferring dimensions from a drawing to the machine.
The DRO is particularly useful for:
Hole patterns
Slot positioning
Edge locations
Repetitive machining
Dimension-sensitive work
Prototype components
Small-batch production
Spindle & Speed Control
The JMD-18 uses a belt-driven head with 12 selectable spindle speeds. The available speed range extends from 150 to 3,000 RPM, giving the operator flexibility when working with different materials and cutter sizes.
Lower spindle speeds can be selected for larger cutters and demanding applications, while higher speeds are useful with smaller cutters when appropriate.
The R-8 spindle taper is a widely used milling-machine standard and allows the JMD-18 to accept a broad range of compatible collets, holders, and accessories.
Spindle Specifications
Spindle taper: R-8
Number of speeds: 12
Speed range: 150–3,000 RPM
Spindle travel: 5 in.
Quill diameter: 3 in.
Drilling & Milling Capacity
The JMD-18 is designed to perform both drilling and milling, making it more versatile than a conventional drill press.
Drilling Capacity
The maximum drilling capacity is 1-1/4 inches, providing useful capacity for general metalworking and fabrication applications.
Milling Capacity
The machine is rated for:
Face milling: Up to 3 in.
End milling: Up to 3/4 in.
These capacities make the JMD-18 suitable for common operations such as facing, slotting, edge milling, and light pocketing.
Milling Table
The JMD-18 features a large cast-iron work table measuring approximately 9-1/2 x 32-1/4 inches. It provides 20-1/2 inches of longitudinal travel, giving the operator a useful working range for positioning larger workpieces.
The table incorporates four T-slots for securing milling vises, clamps, fixtures, and other workholding accessories.
The combination of the large table and ACU-RITE 203 DRO makes it easier to position workpieces accurately during drilling and milling operations.
360° Swiveling Head
The JMD-18's head can swivel 360°, allowing the spindle to be repositioned when the machining operation requires an orientation other than straight vertical.
Head adjustment can be useful for:
Angled drilling
Beveled machining
Specialized milling setups
Workpieces requiring improved spindle access
Non-standard machining orientations
The one-piece cast-iron column helps maintain rigidity and stability as the head is repositioned.
Motor & Electrical Specifications
The JMD-18 uses a 2 HP single-phase motor designed for 115/230V operation. The standard configuration is commonly supplied prewired for 115V.
Motor power: 2 HP
Voltage: 115/230V
Phase: 1 phase
Prewired voltage: 115V
Drive system: Belt drive
Spindle speed range: 150–3,000 RPM
Electrical installation should be performed according to the machine's current nameplate, manufacturer's instructions, and applicable electrical codes.
Heavy-Duty Construction
The JMD-18 is built around a one-piece cast-iron column designed to provide a stable foundation for drilling and milling. Heavy-duty tapered roller bearings support the spindle, while the substantial cast-iron table and base help limit vibration during machining.
The approximately 4-inch-diameter column contributes to the machine's rigid construction and supports the adjustable head assembly.
Proper workholding and secure machine mounting remain important for safe operation and machining accuracy.
Typical Applications
The JET JMD-18 with ACU-RITE 203 DRO is suitable for a broad range of applications, including:
General metalworking
Drilling
Face milling
End milling
Slotting
Facing
Hole-pattern machining
Machine maintenance
Equipment repair
Fabrication
Prototype work
Small-batch machining
