Frequently asked questions
Common questions about JET ELITE from 3G Electric.
What are the speed ranges for JET ELITE vertical band saws?
JET ELITE vertical band saws, such as the 20-inch and 26-inch throat depth models, feature a variable speed range of 50 to 5,000 SFPM. This allows cutting across a variety of materials, from tool steel to aluminum, by adjusting blade speed to suit the workpiece. The blade tilts from 10° left to 45° right, enabling angled cuts without repositioning the material. These saws operate on 3-phase power and are intended for contour cutting, notching, and other operations that require a vertical configuration. The wide speed range supports both ferrous and non-ferrous metals when paired with the appropriate blade.
What is the mitering capability of JET ELITE semi-automatic horizontal band saws?
JET ELITE semi-automatic horizontal band saws with a 10 in x 17 in capacity offer a mitering range of 45° left to 60° right. Blade speeds are adjustable from 53 to 275 SFPM. These saws operate on 230/460V AC, 3-phase power. The mitering function allows angled cuts for applications such as frame fabrication, pipe cutting, and structural steel work. The semi-automatic operation means the operator initiates the cut and the saw completes the cycle, which can improve consistency on repetitive jobs. The capacity and miter range make these saws suitable for medium-duty production cutting in fabrication shops and maintenance departments.
What motor and spindle specifications does the JET ELITE ETM-949EVS milling machine have?
The JET ELITE ETM-949EVS is an electronic variable-speed vertical milling machine with a 3 hp motor, 230V power input, and belt drive. It features an R8 spindle taper, which is a common interface for tooling in vertical mills. The electronic variable-speed control allows the operator to adjust spindle speed without changing belts or pulleys, which can reduce setup time when switching between materials or operations. Typical applications include precision milling, drilling, and boring of metal components. The R8 taper accepts a wide range of collets, drill chucks, and end mill holders, making the machine adaptable to different tooling requirements.
What are the capacity and power details of the JET ELITE EGH-1740 lathe?
The JET ELITE EGH-1740 is a spindle-bore geared-head lathe with a 17-inch swing over bed and 40 inches between centers. It is powered by a 7 1/2 hp motor rated for 230/460V AC. The spindle bore is MT5, and the tailstock taper is MT4. This lathe is designed for industrial turning operations that require a geared head for torque transmission and a spindle bore large enough to accommodate bar stock. The 17-inch swing allows turning of relatively large-diameter workpieces, while the 40-inch center distance supports longer shafts and cylinders. The dual-voltage motor provides flexibility in facilities with either 230V or 460V 3-phase service.
What features are included on JET ELITE electronic variable-speed lathes?
JET ELITE electronic variable-speed lathes, such as the E-1236VS, include a digital readout (DRO), collet closer, and taper attachment. The E-1236VS has a 12-inch swing over bed, 36 inches between centers, a 2 hp motor at 230V AC, and spindle tapers of MT5 (headstock) and MT3 (tailstock). The electronic variable-speed control allows spindle speed adjustment without manual belt changes. The DRO provides position feedback for the carriage and cross slide, which can improve accuracy on complex turning operations. The collet closer enables quick changeover for small-diameter work, and the taper attachment allows cutting of tapered surfaces without repositioning the workpiece.
How does 3G Electric support JET ELITE product selection?
3G Electric provides datasheets for each JET ELITE SKU in its catalog, listing specifications such as capacity, speed ranges, power requirements, and manufacturer part numbers. This allows plant engineers and procurement specialists to compare models based on technical criteria. The company also coordinates logistics for international shipments, including freight and documentation. Because 3G Electric distributes JET ELITE products globally, buyers can request quotes and lead times for delivery to their location. The focus is on making the specification data available so that buyers can match the machine to their application without relying on sales descriptions.
