JET JVM-836-3 8" × 36" Vertical Milling Machine
Are you losing time on setups that should be quick and losing confidence in cuts that should hold tight tolerances?
What if your mill held position through every pass and gave you the same result on the hundredth part as it did on the first?
Meet the JET JVM-836-3, an 8" × 36" vertical knee mill built for metalworking shops that run three-phase power and need a machine that stays accurate through a full day of work.
With the JVM-836-3, you get a precision bored and honed milling head paired with a hardened and ground table, dovetail ways ground to close tolerances, and a one-shot lubrication system that keeps every moving surface protected.
When your mill holds its tolerances and your setups stay where you put them, you can focus on the work instead of the machine.
JET JVM-836-3 for Accurate, Repeatable Knee Milling
Precision Bored and Honed Milling Head Holds Tolerances Through the Cut
The milling head on the JVM-836-3 is precision bored and honed to maintain alignment under load. High precision spindle bearings keep runout low so your cuts stay where you set them. Whether you are facing stock or cutting a profile, the head gives you the consistency the work requires.
Hardened and Ground Table Keeps Your Work Stable
The 8" × 36" table is hardened and ground to a flat, accurate surface. T-slots are spaced at 2-1/2" centers to give you reliable fixturing options for a range of workholding setups. Locks on all moving surfaces let you secure the table exactly where you need it before the cutter touches the part.
Precision Ground Dovetail Ways Support Smooth, Controlled Movement
The dovetail ways are precision ground to keep travel smooth and predictable across the full range of motion. The knee travels 14", the ram travels 10-1/2", and the quill gives you 5" of spindle travel with three selectable down feed rates. That range of movement lets you position the cutter accurately for both rough and finish work.
Ten-Speed Step Pulley Spindle Covers a Wide Range of Cutting Conditions
The step pulley drive gives you ten spindle speeds from 120 to 1,550 RPM. That range lets you match spindle speed to the material and cutter diameter you are running. The large diameter chromed quill moves smoothly and the R-8 spindle taper is a widely supported standard that gives you access to a broad selection of tooling.
