Frequently Asked Questions

What voltage and phase requirements does the JET JVM-836-3 require?

This mill is powered by a 1-1/2 HP motor that operates on 230V only, 3-phase power. It is not compatible with single-phase electrical service, so a 3-phase supply or phase converter must be available at the installation site before use.

What is the spindle taper on the JVM-836-3, and what collet sizes does it accept?

The JVM-836-3 features an R-8 spindle taper, which is one of the most widely used and tooling-compatible standards in manual milling. It accepts collets ranging from 1/8" to 7/8", providing broad compatibility with end mills, drill chucks, boring heads, and other common tooling.

How does the X-axis powerfeed affect the table's longitudinal travel?

When the X-axis powerfeed is engaged, the effective table longitudinal travel is 18 inches. Without the powerfeed, the full manual longitudinal travel extends to 22-1/4 inches. The powerfeed reduces operator fatigue during repetitive or extended longitudinal passes.

Can the milling head be tilted for angled operations?

Yes. The head on the JVM-836-3 tilts both left and right, allowing the operator to perform angled or compound milling operations without having to reposition or re-fixture the workpiece. This adds versatility for tasks such as dovetails, chamfers, and angular face milling.
