3.0 About this machine The JET Model J-720R is a powerful and versatile radial arm drill press. The drill head is mounted on an arm and can slide along the arm to position the spindle over the work piece. The arm itself can be rotated on its support column to allow centering the spindle over the work piece.
L = length, W = width, H = height The specifications in this manual were current at time of publication, but because of our policy of continuous improvement, JET reserves the right to change specifications at any time and without prior notice, without incurring obligations.
