The Model G0669X vertical mill is used to remove material from metal workpieces to form complex shapes. Tooling is inserted into the spindle of the head, which can positioned in nearly any configu- ration above the table and workpiece.

During most operations, the tooling rotates in a stationary position while the operator moves the workpiece clamped to the table into the cutter in any combination of three paths—longitudinal (X-axis), cross (Y-axis), and vertical (Z-axis). The range of movement for the table is greater than that of the head and spindle. However some operations, such as drilling or tapping, are better accomplished using vertical quill (spindle) move- ment. There are coarse and fine manual controls for quill movement, and an auto-downfeed mech- anism with adjustable speeds.

The high and low spindle speed range is selected using a convenient lever on the side of the head. Speeds are electronically controlled within these ranges by using the variable speed dial and read- out on the control panel.

Power feeds provide precision powered vertical and longitudinal table movement with adjustable limit stops for preset range of motion.

The coolant reservoir in the column base houses a pump that recycles the fluid back up to the workpiece, reducing friction and washing away the resulting swarf from the operation.

To enhance the already precise performance of this vertical mill, Grizzly offers a number of acces- sories such as digital readouts, table mounting devices, and automated drawbar systems (refer to ACCESSORIES on Page 35).
