1.Read and understand the entire owner’s manual before attempting assembly or operation.

2.Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of these warnings may cause serious injury.

3.Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

4.This turret mill is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a turret mill, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.

5.Do not use this turret mill for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, JET, disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.

6.Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this turret mill. (Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.)

7.Before operating this turret mill, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not wear gloves.

8.Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.

9.Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•Lead from lead based paint.

•Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

•Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

10.Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

11.Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.

12.Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

13.Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.

14.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

15.Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.

16.Some coolants used for machining contain chemicals that may be hazardous to your health if not used properly. Read and understand all information on the coolant container and protect yourself accordingly.

JTM-4VS specifications

The Jet Tools JTM-4VS is a highly regarded vertical mill that caters to the demands of both professional machinists and serious hobbyists. This versatile piece of machinery combines precision engineering with innovative features, making it a popular choice in workshops and fabrication shops.

One of the standout characteristics of the JTM-4VS is its powerful 1.5 HP motor that operates on either 115V or 230V power supply, providing flexibility depending on the workshop setup. The motor offers variable speed control, from 60 to 4200 RPM, allowing users to adjust speeds according to the material being machined. This capability makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from heavy milling on steel to delicate work on softer materials like aluminum.

The JTM-4VS is equipped with a robust cast iron column and base, which contribute to its stability and durability. This construction minimizes vibrations during operation, resulting in improved precision and surface finish on machined parts. The table measures 9” x 49”, providing ample workspace for various projects, and is fitted with T-slots for easy clamping of workpieces.

Another notable feature of the JTM-4VS is its easy-to-use digital readout (DRO) system that assists users in making precise adjustments and measurements. The DRO enhances the overall efficiency of the milling process, allowing operators to focus on the task at hand rather than relying solely on manual measurements.

The machine also incorporates a high-grade, hardened and ground bedway that ensures smooth operation and long-lasting performance. This feature not only extends the longevity of the mill but also allows for precise vertical and horizontal movements.

Safety is a primary concern in any workshop, and Jet has addressed this with various safety features integrated into the JTM-4VS. The mill is designed with a protective shield and emergency stop button, ensuring operators can work confidently.

In summary, the Jet Tools JTM-4VS stands out for its combination of robust construction, versatile functionality, and user-friendly technologies. With its powerful motor, variable speed capabilities, and precision features, it is an excellent investment for anyone looking to enhance their machining capabilities in the workshop. Whether it's for industrial applications or intricate projects, the JTM-4VS delivers reliable performance and exceptional results.
