Jet milling machines
By F. Davies
Jet machines are quite functional.
A milling machine is the heart of a machine shop.
If this is your first milling machine, expect tospend and equal amount on the tooling you will needto make it work. A clamping kit, an assortment of end millschucks and holders, a vice, a rotary table, an indexing headand more will all be required to round out the purchase.
Horesepower translates into speed of material removal.Bigger bits require greater power.
This is just a starter mill and you will want to upgradeto something costing ten or twenty times as much when youwant to do production work as this one is all hand crankedand requires a skilled operator to run it.
Did I mention that it cuts wood etc.? There are even machinableceramics which it can handle.
Again, expect to double the price (as a ballpark est.) on anymachine tool by the time it you are done. And plan to put it ona solid foundation, not in your livingroom.
I use mine (a Jet VMM626) to make thermoplastic injection molds.

By Michelle Stone
I've used this machine for over a year now. And I really like it. As a drill press for wood, it gives me very acurate and square holes. This is very important in my business where accuracy is key. I use a wooden table and fence that I use over the mill bed.I use it also to do light milling with aluminum. It does a satisfactory job with that. I'm happy with the results. I think that if I were to do only milling and I had to do complicated parts, this mill would not be enough. Running the table back and forth manually can get pretty boring.There is only one thing that I do not like and that is to raise the head, I have to loosen the clamp that holds the head from moving right or left. So when I raise the head, I can't garantee that I'm still where I want to be. As a result, I have to recenter my work.The machine is very heavy. Jet installs an eye bolt on top so that you can hoist it up onto your stand. I like this very much. I built a solid stand for it out of 2x6's and that has been very stable.The mill/drill has been very reliable. I use it every day and I have had no maintenance problems.As a drill press with wood, you'll not find anything better. As a mill with metal, it's pretty good. And for the price you are paying. This is very good value.

By J. D. Nelson
This has been a very good mill. We've had this model for approx. 10 years with no problems whatsoever. My only complaint is the lack of a way to gauge the alignment of the head after it raised and lowered.
