Product Details
The Jet certified Meehanite® casting features enhanced ribbing that ensures rigidity and tolerance retention. The machine is equipped with a swing-away control box housing an E-stop, providing convenient access to all operator controls. Its innovative base design allows for easier leveling without the need to raise the machine off the floor. An automatic oiler dispenses 3 to 6 cc/cy of lubrication every 30 minutes, while a heavy-duty spindle brake enhances safety by stopping the spindle and cutting power to prevent accidental start-ups. The machine’s electrical box is situated at the back and includes two 115V outlets for powered accessories. The spindle is supported by Class 7 spindle bearings, maximizing rigidity during heavy cutting tasks, and the spindle head is internally cooled to extend the lifespan of the bearings, belt, and motor. The table and ways are hardened to 54 HRC and precision ground for improved accuracy, with the X and Y-axis coated in Turcite-B, reducing vibration and allowing for smooth movements. Additional features include a swing-away safety shield, LED work lamp, chip pan, dual locks on all moveable surfaces, way covers, a drawbar, and a tool box with tools. The specifications include a powerfeed for the X, Y, and Z-axis, an R-8 spindle taper, a table size of 9" x 49", a quill diameter of 3-3/8", variable spindle speeds ranging from 60 to 4,500 RPM, quill down feed rates of .0015, .003, and .006 IPR, and a spindle travel of 5". The head can move 90° right and left, and 45° forward and backward, with a maximum spindle-to-table distance of 20-3/4" and a minimum spindle-to-column distance of 4-3/4". It accommodates collet sizes from 1/8" to 7/8", has a longitudinal table travel of 36" (30-3/4" with power feed), cross travel of 12-5/8", three T-slots sized 5/8" with centers at 2-1/2", a work table weight capacity of 720 lbs., and a knee travel of 15-3/4". The machine is CSA/CUS certified.
