Product Description
JET Elite ETM-949 Mill with X, Y-Axis JET Powerfeeds and USA Made Air Draw Bar from JET delivers world-class milling performance fully loaded with premium engineering. Built on Certified Meehanite castings with a hardened and ground table, this variable speed knee mill is engineered to handle a diverse variety of materials with exceptional reliability and durability. Featuring an electronic spindle brake, automatic lubrication every 30 minutes at 3-6 cc/cy, and a fully hardened Chromium Molybdenum spindle with class 7210 (P4, ABEC-7) precision angular bearings achieving an industry-leading spindle taper runout of 0.00012", the Elite ETM-949 sets the benchmark for precision milling in demanding shop environments. CSA/CUS Certified for operator safety, this mill comes equipped with X and Y-Axis JET Powerfeeds and a USA Made Air Draw Bar for a complete, production-ready setup right out of the box.
Key Features
- Ball bearing support of the motor shaft ensures proper loading, support, and alignment for quiet, accurate operation at any speed
- Heat treated and polished lead screws are supported by thrust bearings ensuring smooth, incremental movements of the table under load
- Seamless, one-piece, steel quill is induction hardened and chromed for increased strength and precision ground for greater accuracy
- Stainless steel Y-Axis way cover provides extra years of protection over the standard sheet metal cover
- The mounted control box houses major mill functions as well as an emergency stop button
- The table and saddle backlash is controlled by an advanced double nut design that eliminates end-play for precisely controlled lateral movements
- Variable speed pulleys are ground and multiplane dynamically balanced, reducing vibration and ensuring smooth speed transitions
- Certified Meehanite castings provide a rigid, vibration-dampening foundation for accurate, repeatable milling results
- Electronic spindle brake prevents accidental startups for enhanced operator safety
- Patented vari-disc key provides up to 10 times the wear resistance compared to aluminum or brass keys
- Fully hardened Chromium Molybdenum spindle meets strict tolerance requirements with class 7210 (P4, ABEC-7) precision angular bearings for an industry-leading spindle taper runout of 0.00012"
- Y- and Z-axis ways are hand scraped to a minimum of 16 points per square inch for greater oil retention and smooth movements
- Automatic lubrication every 30 minutes delivers 3-6 cc/cy to keep critical components protected during extended operation
- USA Made Air Draw Bar included for fast, efficient tool changes
- X and Y-Axis JET Powerfeeds included for precise, consistent table feeding
- CSA/CUS Certified with spindle safety guard included for operator safety compliance

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of spindle bearings does the Elite ETM-949 use, and what runout can I expect?
- The Elite ETM-949 uses class 7210 (P4, ABEC-7) precision angular contact bearings on a fully hardened Chromium Molybdenum spindle, achieving an industry-leading spindle taper runout of 0.00012" for exceptional precision machining.
- How does the ETM-949 control backlash in the table and saddle?
- The table and saddle backlash is controlled by an advanced double nut design that eliminates end-play for precisely controlled lateral movements, ensuring repeatable positioning accuracy under load.
- What protection does the stainless steel Y-Axis way cover offer compared to a standard cover?
- The stainless steel Y-Axis way cover provides extra years of protection over the standard sheet metal cover, resisting corrosion and wear to keep the ways clean and functional in demanding shop environments.
- Is the draw bar included with this mill, and what powerfeeds are provided?
- Yes, this mill package includes a USA Made Air Draw Bar for efficient tool changes, along with both X-Axis and Y-Axis JET Powerfeeds for precise, consistent table feeding during milling operations.

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
It is important to assess the product being shipped against your location and material-handling capabilities.
Please be aware that your location needs to be prepared to properly handle and sign for freight shipments. You need to have access to a dock location, a forklift or the ability to unload the product from the freight carrier's trailer.
If your location does not have a traditional loading dock or forklift to unload your LTL freight out of the trailer, a Lift gate service will be required. There will be an additional charge for the service. It varies by carrier and even by market with different carriers. It often depends on the supply and demand of lift gate equipped trucks in your area.
Some machines require Flatbed shipping. There will be an additional charge for this service. Flatbed shipping is for the transportation of cargo that cannot be loaded or unloaded from a dock, or does not fit within the dimensions of standard truck trailers. A flatbed’s design allows for cranes and forklifts to load goods from all angles.
If a shipment is too heavy or the footprint (i.e., panel saws, metalworking lathes, mill/drills) is too large to ship via small parcel carrier (USPS, UPS or FedEx), it is shipped via a freight carrier. Freight shipments are considered tail gate deliveries, meaning that the driver is only responsible for moving the shipment to the rear of the trailer and will not assist with unloading.
For non-commercial deliveries, the freight carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery window and confirm if lift gate services are required. If lift gate service is requested, the driver is responsible for lowering the product to the ground during delivery. Freight shipments delivered to a residential location are considered curb side deliveries, meaning the driver will make the delivery in the street at the end of the customer’s driveway. Freight Carriers are not required to enter driveways to make residential deliveries due to liability and safety issues.
Although most deliveries go smoothly, sometimes there are exceptions beyond our control. Machines weighing over 2,000 pounds, bulky and oversized machines with a large footprint may not be able to be delivered via a lift gate for risk of injury or damage to the machine. There are also inaccessible remote, residential or high density urban areas that freight carriers cannot safely access. If encountered, such shipments are available for dock delivery or will be required to be picked up from the carrier’s terminal.
