Power Feed Test Run

The mill comes with a power feed unit for X-axis table travel. Proper operation of the limit switch attached to the front middle of the table is criti- cal for the safe use of this power feed unit. If the power feed does not operate as expected during the following steps, disconnect it from power and contact our Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.

To test the power feed:

1.Make sure all tools, cables, and other items are well clear of table movement as you fol- low these steps.

2.refer to the X-Axis Power Feed section, beginning on Page 28, to understand how the power feed, table locks, and limit switch function.

3.loosen the table locks on the front of the table.

4.plug the power feed power cord into a grounded 110V power outlet.

5.Make sure the power feed direction knob is in the neutral (middle) position, turn the speed dial counterclockwise to the lowest setting, then press the ON button.

6.turn the direction knob to the left, slowly turn the speed dial clockwise to increase the speed, then confirm that the table is moving to the left.

7.Watch for the table limit stop to hit the limit switch and turn the power feed OFF, stopping the table movement.

8.turn the direction knob through the neutral (middle) position and all the way to the right. The table should begin moving to the right.

9.Confirm that the table stops moving when the limit stop presses against the limit switch plunger.

10.Move the direction knob to the neutral (mid- dle) position, turn the speed dial to the lowest setting, and press the OFF button.

Congratulations! The Test Run of the mill is complete. Continue to the next page to per- form the Spindle Break-Inand Adjustments & Inspections procedures.
