Operation Overview
7. Wears safety glasses or a face shield.
8. starts the machine.
9. adjusts the spindle height.
10. For milling operations, uses the X-axis
handwheel to move the table left-and-right
and uses the y-axis handwheel to move the
table in-or-out, so the cutter removes material
evenly from the workpiece.
For drilling operations, uses the coarse
downfeed lever or fine downfeed handle to
lower the tooling into the workpiece, then
raises the tooling out of the workpiece.
11. presses the stop button to stop the spin-
dle.
this overview gives you the basic process that hap-
pens during an operation with this mill. Familiarize
yourself with this process to better understand the
remaining parts of the
Operation section.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Loosens the knee lock, and adjusts the
table height to ensure there is sufficient
room to install the tooling in the quill and the
workpiece on the table.
2. installs correct tooling for the task.
3. mounts the workpiece securely to the table
using a vise or clamps.
4. selects the appropriate spindle speed for the
workpiece and tooling.
5. selects the direction the spindle will turn,
based on the type of cut needed, using the
direction switch.
6. Unlocks the X- and y-axis table locks, then
secures the z-axis lock.
Table Movement
this mill table has three paths of movement con-
trolled by the corresponding handwheels or crank
(see
figure 17):
1. Left–right (X-axis)
2. in–out (y-axis)
3. Up–down (z-axis)
Y-Axis or
In & Out
Z-Axis or
Up & Down
X-Axis
or Left & Right
