Floor
We recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor. Because floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs (Figure 7) are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per- manent alternatives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.
Assembly
To assemble your mill/drill:
1.Place the handwheels on the longitudinal and cross lead screws, and tighten the set screw (see Figure 8).
