Power feed

The Model G1007 features a 110V auto-feed mechanism which allows hands-free, side-to-side passes while milling. Variable-speed feed control makes flat surface milling more consistent.

To install the power feed:

1.Attach the 21/4" diameter drive gear to the left end of the longitudinal table leadscrew. The setscrew for securing the drive gear requires a 2.5mm Allen® wrench. The gear couplers on the drive gear and table lead- screw will lock together.

2.Set the clamping bracket assembly on the left end of the table. Mark the points on the table’s trough where the mounting bolts contact the table. Remove the clamping bracket assembly and spot drill to give the mounting bolts a small lip to “bite” without slipping on the rough cast surface. Set the clamping bracket assembly back on the end of the table and tighten down the mounting bolts.

3.Use a 5mm Allen® wrench to attach the power feed body to the clamping bracket assembly. Cap screws are provided. Before tightening completely, position the power feed body so the gears mesh per- fectly. Tighten the cap screws when the gears are in mesh.

NOTICE

Use care when aligning the table lead- screw gears with the gearing on the power feed. The fit is correct when you can just slightly wiggle one gear without engaging the other. If there is too much space between the gears, teeth can be stripped under heavy loads. If the teeth mesh too tightly, the supporting bearings in the power feeder will wear out quickly.

4.Plug the rapid switch cord into the recepta- cle provided on the bottom of the power feed body.

5.Screw the knob onto the direction handle.

6.Place the clear plastic gear cover to the bottom of the power feed to protect the gears.

7.Insert the stops into the slot on the front edge of the table. Tighten them with a 5mm Allen® wrench.

NOTICE

Before using the G1007, place the power feeder cord and the control cord for the microswitch clear of any movements which could pinch or crush them. Before using the power feed, mark the maximum distance the table can move before the power feed comes in contact with the machine’s base. Use that mark as a reference each time you re-adjust your table stops. This is the best way to avoid damaging the power feed and/or causing an unsafe condition.

8.Remove the center travel stop at the front of the table. Save the mounting bolts.

9.Secure the switch bracket to the front of the Mill/Drill. Use the mounting bolts saved in step 8.

10.Mount the switch to the switch bracket using the cap screws provided. Tighten them with a 6mm Allen® wrench. When the switch is depressed, the power feed auto- matically turns off and table movement stops.
