The JET EVS-949 Mill with 3-Axis Newall DP700 (Knee) DRO, Servo X Y Z-Axis Powerfeeds, and Air Powered Draw Bar is a professional-grade variable speed vertical milling machine engineered for demanding machining environments where precision, durability, and operator control are essential. Powered by a 3 HP, 230V, 3-phase motor and spanning a wide spindle speed range of 60-5,000 RPM, this fully loaded mill delivers the performance and versatility required for production and toolroom applications alike.

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
• USA Made air powered draw bar for fast and convenient tool changes
• 3-Axis Newall DP700 knee DRO for precise digital readout across X, Y, and Z axes
• Servo X, Y, and Z-axis powerfeeds for automated, consistent table movement

Frequently Asked Questions

What spindle taper does the JET EVS-949 use, and what is the collet capacity range?

The EVS-949 uses an R-8 spindle taper and accepts collets ranging from 1/8-7/8 in., making it compatible with a wide variety of tooling commonly used in milling operations.

What DRO system is included, and how many axes does it cover?

This mill comes equipped with a 3-Axis Newall DP700 knee DRO, providing digital readout across the X, Y, and Z axes for precise positional awareness during all milling operations.

How does the double nut design benefit milling accuracy?

The table and saddle backlash is controlled by an advanced double nut design that eliminates end-play for precisely controlled lateral movements, resulting in more accurate and repeatable positioning during cuts.

What are the available quill down feed rates, and what is the total quill travel?

The quill offers three down feed rates of 0.0015-0.003-0.006 IPR, and the quill itself provides 5 in. of travel with a 3-3/8 in. diameter, giving operators fine control over depth-sensitive operations.
