Table Travel
The table can be moved in 3 axes. Each axis is independently controlled by a handle or handwheel. The longitudinal travel has the added feature of a power feed, which will be explained in more detail later. Each handle or handwheel has a graduated dial to accurately position the workpiece in relation to the cutting tool. Each axis has the ability to be locked in position. Locking the axis in place will help keep workpiece vibration to a minimum.
Longitudinal Feed Control
The longitudinal feed is controlled by two handwheels, one at each end of the table, and can be locked in position by the two locks at the front of the table (see Figure 15).
Cross Feed
The cross feed is controlled by the center handwheel, and can be locked in position by the lock under the left side of the mill table (see Figure 16).
Knee Feed
The knee feed is controlled by one handle, just off center at the front of the machine. The Model M1001 has one knee feed lock on the left side of machine next to the single shot pump, where the knee meets the ways (see Figure 16).
