Jet jmd 18 questions - monkers - 11-29-2012
I just recently found this site and its great! I just purchased an older Jet jmd 18 mill/drill that I have some questions about. Does anyone have a picture of the spindle speed/pulley configurations? The decal on mine is missing and Im told unavailable. If I can get a picture I can just make up a little chart with a sharpie marker so I know what the speeds are.
I havent done anything with the machine yet, gotta finish some other projects first. Then I can clean it up and fix what needs fixin. Thanks,
Craig

Craig,
I think but I'm not sure is the Jet 18 mill the same as the RF30 mill?

JMD 18 owners manual. in PDF Format Spindle speed chart not in there. I posted it in case you need a manual. It has 12 speeds 150-3000.

Twice i have seen posted on other sites, about Jet not having any customer service.
Is this true?

I have an old lathe which has no speed chart, nor documentation (nothing to identify it really). So I purchased a hand held IR tacho from eBay and used that to determine the speeds. I tested it on motors with known RPM and it was either spot on, or just a few RPM out. Certainly good enough for this use. It was $23.80 including shipping.

I've never had a problem dealing from Jet, but based on the prices, they are very proud of their replacement parts.

DaveH, Im new to these mills, but from what Im reading I think it is the same as the RF 30, thank you for posting the chart.
RE: Jet jmd 18 questions - monkers - 11-29-2012
Bill, thanks for the link to the manual, looks like that is the same speed specs as posted by DaveH.

Mayhem, good idea with the tach, I could use it for other stuff also, thank you
