I recently bought my first mill, it’s a jet JVM-942f and I would love any information you have on it. Thank you!

appears to be a BP clone J-Head with a R-8 spindle
Jet may have a manual available on their website, don't know for sure

the mill in the link is a bit newer, and of a different model

From my understanding now they were originally ENCO machines but idk what jet would have changed if anything.

they were made in Taiwan, the newer ones may be made in mainland China

I think it would have been made in the 1980's meaning it was probably made in Taiwan?
