Frequently Asked Questions

What spindle taper does the JMD-18 use, and what tooling is compatible?

The JMD-18 uses an R-8 spindle taper, which is one of the most widely used tapers in bench-top and knee-style milling machines. This means a broad selection of R-8 collets, end mill holders, and other tooling from most major tooling manufacturers is directly compatible with this machine.

What does the NEWALL DP700 DRO add to this mill/drill?

The NEWALL DP700 Digital Readout provides real-time positional feedback on the machine's axes, allowing the operator to make precise incremental and absolute measurements without manual calculation. This significantly improves machining accuracy and reduces setup time compared to operating on handwheel dials alone.

Is the Mill Drill Stand shown in the product images included with the machine?

No. The Mill Drill Stand (p/n 320020) shown in some images is optional and is not included with the JMD-18. It must be purchased separately if a stand is required for your installation.

What is the maximum table load capacity and table travel on the JMD-18?

The work table has a weight capacity of 400 lbs. and measures 9-1/2 x 32-1/4 in. The table offers 20-1/2 in. of longitudinal travel, providing generous workpiece positioning range for light milling and drilling tasks. The maximum distance from the spindle to the table is 17-1/2 in.
