Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the power downfeed and manual feed on the JMD-18PFN?

The JMD-18PFN is equipped with a heavy-duty power downfeed with manual feed. The power downfeed automatically advances the quill at a set rate - choose from three quill down feed rates of 0.0047, 0.007, or 0.001 IPR - while the manual feed option gives the operator direct hand control over quill movement for operations that require a more tactile approach.

What spindle taper does this mill drill use, and how fast can the spindle turn?

The JMD-18PFN uses an R-8 spindle taper, which is a widely supported standard compatible with a broad range of collets and tooling. The 12-speed belt-driven spindle covers a range of 150-3,000 RPM, allowing the operator to match the cutting speed to the material and tool being used.

Is the Mill Drill Stand included with the machine?

No. The Mill Drill Stand (p/n 350045), which is shown in some images, is optional and not included with the JMD-18PFN. It must be purchased separately if a dedicated stand is desired.

How much vertical and lateral travel does the table and spindle offer?

The table provides 20-1/2 inches of longitudinal travel, and the machine offers up to 28 inches of maximum distance from the spindle to the table. The quill delivers 5 inches of total spindle travel, with 4-1/4 inches of automatic spindle travel when the power downfeed is engaged.
