OPERATIONS

Quill Feed Control

The quill feed is controlled by the quill feed handle
shown in Figure 20. The handle allows the mill to
operate as a drill.
To use the quill feed handle, do these steps:
1. Pull the quill feed handle (see Figure 20) forward
to feed the quill down towards the workpiece.
The quill feed handle is spring loaded to assist in
returning the handle to the upmost vertical position.
2. Lock the quill in place at any depth by tightening
the quill feed handle lock shown in Figure 20.
Note: When the quill feed is not in use, return it to
the upmost position and lock in place. This will help
maintain mill rigidity and accuracy.
3. Adjust the position of the handle by loosening the
pinch bolt on the quill shaft and then tightening
when the handle is in the desired position.

Micro-feed Depth Adjustment

The micro-feed handwheel is used to accurately control
the quill depth (see Figure 21).
To use the micro-feed handwheel, do these steps:
1. Turn the mill OFF and allow the spindle to come to a
complete stop.
2. Tighten the quill clutch knob.
3. Turn the micro-feed handwheel (see Figure
21) clockwise to feed the quill down or
counterclockwise to feed the quill up.
