Moving Ram Back-and-Forth

1.DISCONNECT MILL FROM POWER!

2.Loosen the two lock levers shown in Figure 29 on the right side of the ram.

Figure 29. Ram back-and-forth movement controls.

3.Make sure there are no obstructions to ram travel, especially with the spindle tool around the workpiece, then slowly rotate the adjustment bolt to move the ram. Rotating the bolt clockwise will move the ram back.

4.Re-tighten the lock levers after you have re- positioned the ram.

Always lock the head firmly in place after tilting or rotating it. Unexpected movement of the head during operations could cause damage to the cutter or workpiece.

Rotating Ram

1.DISCONNECT MILL FROM POWER!

2.Loosen the four lock bolts on top of the turret (see Figure 30).

Note: There are two lock bolts on either side of the ram.

Note: In the next step, take care not to entangle or stretch the electrical cabling as you move the ram around the turret.

3.Push on the head to manually rotate it. Use the rotation scale to determine the correct position for your operation, then re-tighten the four lock bolts to secure the ram in place.
