JMD-18 Mill Drill R-8 Taper, 2HP, 1PH, 115/230V - JET

The JET JMD-18 Mill Drill (model 350018) offers professional automotive and industrial workshops a robust and adaptable machining solution. This machine integrates the precise drilling capacity of a heavy-duty drill press with the accurate milling capabilities of a light-duty vertical mill. Its compact footprint optimizes valuable shop space while delivering professional-grade performance for intricate drilling, slotting, and light milling tasks.

Key Features

• Powerful 2HP Motor: The 2HP, single-phase motor, prewired for 115V (convertible to 230V), delivers consistent torque for efficient drilling, facing, and light production work on materials such as steel, aluminum, and cast iron.
• R-8 Spindle Taper: Equipped with an R-8 spindle taper, this mill drill ensures compatibility with common Bridgeport-style tooling, allowing professional technicians to utilize existing standard collets, end mills, and drill chucks.
• Broad Spindle Speed Range: With 12 spindle speeds from 150–3,000 RPM, operators can precisely match the speed to the material and tool diameter, promoting cleaner finishes and extended tool life.
• Rigid Cast Iron Construction: Its one-piece cast iron column and substantial 400 lb table capacity maintain overall rigidity, minimizing chatter for accurate results even with heavier fixtures and workpieces.
• Precision Control: Features like power downfeed with manual fine feed and a 360° swiveling head enable technicians to achieve precise bores, accurately machine angled features, and perform repeatable setups.

Applications

The JMD-18 Mill Drill is well-suited for professional automotive and industrial maintenance, small fabrication shops, and dedicated home workshops. Typical applications include machining brake and steering brackets, fabricating suspension tabs, creating driveline and transmission adapters, machining pump and motor plates, manufacturing sensor and accessory mounts, and modifying engine accessory brackets. This machine provides a practical and efficient solution for repair, prototype, and short-run production work where a full-size vertical mill is not justified.
