JET JMD-45VSPF Variable Speed Square Column Benchtop Milling Machine
Are you looking for a benchtop mill drill that holds tight tolerances through a full day of precision work?
What if your shop had a variable speed mill drill that stays rigid through face milling, drilling, and light contouring without constant adjustment?
Meet the JET JMD-45VSPF Variable Speed Square Column Benchtop Milling Machine, a geared head mill drill built for accurate metalworking in demanding shop environments.
Available as a base model, with a Newall DP700 2-axis DRO, or with a DRO and X-axis powerfeed, the JMD-45VSPF fits a range of shop setups and workflow demands.
When the column holds square and the spindle tracks true, you can focus on the work instead of correcting for machine drift.
JET JMD-45VSPF for Precise Drilling and Milling Work
Square Column with Dovetail Ways Holds Position Through Cuts
The square column and dovetail ways keep the head from rotating during use, which is a common problem with round column mill drills. That rigidity translates directly to more consistent results when drilling, facing, or making repeated passes across a part.
Variable Speed Geared Head Delivers Full Power Across the Range
Quick-select gear shift levers let you change spindle speeds without stopping to swap pulleys. The variable speed range runs from 50 to 2500 RPM, giving you the right speed for everything from large face mills down to small diameter end mills.
R8 Spindle Accepts Standard Mill Tooling
The R8 taper is the most common spindle standard in hobby and light production shops, so your existing collets, end mill holders, and tooling will transfer directly. The internal depth gauge gives you a readable reference when drilling to a set depth.
Optional Newall DP700 DRO Adds Precise Position Readout
The Newall DP700 2-axis DRO is available as an optional upgrade and gives you a live digital readout of table position on both axes. It eliminates the need to count dial revolutions and makes repeating a move or hitting a target dimension more straightforward.
Optional X-Axis Powerfeed Automates Table Movement
The X-axis powerfeed is available on the top configuration and drives the table at a consistent feed rate without hand cranking. It is particularly useful when face milling or making long passes where a steady, hands-free feed produces a cleaner surface finish.
