M1036 Micro Mill
OPERATIONS
General
The Model M1036 will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incor- rectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the under- standing that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing any operation, stop using the machine!
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom- mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training from an experienced milling machine operator before per- forming any unfamiliar operations. Above all, your safety should come first!
READ and understand this entire instruc- tion manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!
Table Travel
The table can be moved in 2 axes. Each axis is indepen- dently controlled by a crank handle. Each handle has a graduated dial to accurately position the workpiece in relation to the cutting tool. Each axis has the ability to be locked in position. Locking the axis in place will help keep workpiece vibration to a minimum.
Longitudinal Feed Control
The longitudinal feed is controlled by a crank handle at the end of the table, and can be locked in position by the cap screw located at the front of the table.
Cross Feed Control
The cross feed is controlled by the center crank handle, and can be locked in position by the cap screw located under the left side of the mill table.
DO NOT investigate problems or adjust the Micro Mill while running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a complete stop before proceeding!
