Table Movement

The mill table moves in three directions, as illustrated in Figure 19:

•X-axis (longitudinal)

•Y-axis (cross)

•Z-axis (vertical)

These movements are controlled by table ball handles and the Z-axis crank. Additionally, the table can be moved along the X-axis with the power feed.

X-Axis or Longitudinal Travel

(Left & Right)

Y-Axis or Cross Travel (In & Out)

Z-Axis or Vertical Elevation

Always keep the table locked in place unless table movement is required for your operation. Unexpected movement of the table during operations could cause damage to the cutter or workpiece.
