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.
