Frequently Asked Questions

How many spindle speeds does the JET J-2530 offer, and what is the full speed range?

The JET J-2530 offers 16 spindle speeds covering a range from 200-3,630 RPM. The available speeds are 200, 290, 350, 430, 500, 580, 640, 720, 800, 870, 1,440, 1,630, 1,820, 2,380, 2,540, and 3,630 RPM, providing versatility for drilling through a wide variety of materials and accommodating different bit sizes.

What is the maximum drilling capacity of the J-2530 in mild steel and cast iron?

The J-2530 has a drilling capacity of 1/2 in. in mild steel and 5/8 in. in cast iron, making it well-suited for a broad range of metalworking and fabrication tasks.

What type of bearings support the spindle assembly, and do they require maintenance?

The enclosed spindle assembly is supported by four permanently lubricated ball bearings. Because these bearings are permanently lubricated, they do not require routine re-lubrication, contributing to greater precision and accuracy over the life of the machine.

What is the spindle travel and stroke depth on the J-2530?

The J-2530 provides a spindle travel of 3-3/8 in. and a stroke of 3-1/8 in., making it well-suited for deep hole drilling applications where extended reach is required.
