The Model G3358 Milling/Drilling Machine is used to shape metal and other solid workpieces by removing material through the use of a rotat- ing cutting tool. In milling operations, this cutting tool remains in a stationary position while the workpiece is drawn across it by the user-con- trolled movement of the table. The Model G3358 can also be used as a traditional drill press.

Tooling inserts into the R-8 spindle that is held in place by a drawbar. The vertical position of the tooling is controlled by the head position, the downfeed handles, and the micro-adjustment handwheel. The spindle is driven by the adjust- able belt system contained within the pulley hous- ing.

During milling operations, the operator clamps the workpiece to the table and aligns the necessary axis to produced the desired cut. The operator turns the machine on, then moves the table to bring the workpiece into the rotating cutting tool. Once the pass is complete, adjustments may be made to the position of the spindle and the table, and further passes follow, as necessary.

During drilling operations, the operator clamps the workpiece to the table and aligns the workpiece to the drill bit using the table handwheels. The operator turns the machine on, then lowers the quill using the quill downfeed levers. Once the operation is complete, the table handwheels can be used to reposition the workpiece for drilling additional holes, if necessary.
