JET JET-15 Mill / Drill
Appears to be an older version of the JMD-15 Mill Drill
We have a JET-15 milling machine. The manual is elusive and hard to find online, but we keep a copy in a binder in the metalshop.
It mostly works, however:
- The spindle is prone to overheating and needs to be lubricated somehow.
- There is no spindle brake that we know of, you might want to use a strap wrench to hold onto the spindle while tightening / loosening the drawbar.
Quill feed[edit | edit source]
To engage or disengage the fine feed, slide the black ring on the quill lever's shaft.
- Pull right to disengage fine feed.
- Push left to engage fine feed. You might need to rotate the handwheel a bit until it meshes with the ring.
Changelog[edit | edit source]
- 21 April 2024: The power plug was not fully enclosed, meaning metal shavings could get in. Replaced the power cable
- 20 April 2024: Removed rust from mill bed, fixed quill feed mechanism
