Axminster Jet Elite range of milling machines

The Jet Elite ETM-949 mill comes in two versions: electronic (EVS) and mechanical variable speed. Available in the UK from Axminster Tools & Machinery, both have spindle brakes fitted, while the headstocks pivot front-to-back and side-to-side, as well as slide across the bed to help enhance milling versatility.

ABEC 7 spindle bearings are fitted to help deliver low spindle run-out and, according to Axminster, the main castings are certified Meehanite and the slideways hand-scraped to retain more lubricant.

For ease of use, a 3-axis digital readout is fitted, together with X- and Y-axis power feeds and a coolant system.

The mills are aimed at education facilities, engineering workshops and prototype manufacturers.
