Headstock Travel

(Z-Axis and Rotation)

Headstock height is adjustable in the vertical Z- axis to accept large workpieces. For unique mill- ing operations, the headstock can be tilted right or left between 0° and 90°. Your mill/drill has a dovetailed slide that allows you to reposition the headstock and change tooling without losing your alignment with a hole or milling path.

To raise or lower the headstock:

1.Unlock the headstock slide lock lever shown in Figure 13.

2.Turn the Z-axis handwheel shown in Figure 14 to raise or lower the headstock, then lock the headstock slide lock lever.

Note: For maximum spindle rigidity when milling, keep the spindle retracted into the headstock as far as possible with the quill lock lever locked and with the fine feed lock knob tightened.

To tilt the headstock to the left or right:

1.DISCONNECT THE MILL/DRILL FROM POWER.

2.Using a 17mm wrench, loosen both head- stock tilt acorn lock nuts (Figure 15).

3.Insert a 6mm hex wrench into the index pin release port (Figure 15), and turn the hex wrench clockwise to disengage the spring- loaded index pin from the headstock.

4.While watching the tilt scale, rotate the head- stock to the required angle, and retighten the tilt acorn lock nuts to hold the headstock in place.

Note: The index pin is spring loaded and serves only as a quick way to return the headstock close to zero. It is not intended to be an absolute zero degree stop. No other index holes exist at other angles in the head- stock.
