G0619 DELUXE SMALL MILL/DRILL

Spindle Height

Control

Spindle height is changed by unlocking the quill lock and using the down feed handles or the fine feed knob (Figure 10). The digital spindle height readout indicates the spindle height.

To change the spindle position:

1.Unlock the quill lock lever and loosen the fine feed lock knob.

Tip: Use the comfort lever (Figure 10) for additional leverage to unlock the fine feed lock knob if the knob is too tight. Do not use the comfort lever to tighten the knob.

2.Pull down on the quill feed levers to lower or raise the spindle. Lock the quill lock to hold the spindle in a particular position if you choose.

Tip: Milling with the quill fully extended, can cause tool chatter. For maximum spindle rigidity when milling, it is better to keep the spindle retracted into the headstock as far as possible with the quill lock lever locked, and the fine feed lock knob tightened.
