Operation Overview

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.

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.
