Mounting to Workbench

SET UP

Mounting the mill to the workbench provides maximum rigidity and prevents the mill from tipping. Mounting the mill should be done before installing the headstock for the best access to the mounting holes. When choosing a location for the mill, make sure the cross feed and the longitudinal handwheels extend out beyond the edge of the table surface. This will allow unrestricted handwheel operation.

To mount the mill to the workbench, do these steps:

1.Measure the thickness of the workbench and add 11⁄2" to determine the necessary screw length.

2.Mark your hole locations, using the mounting holes in the base as a guide (see Figure 5).

3.Drill 3/16" holes through the workbench.

4.Place a precision level on the mill/drill table and shim the mill/drill until it is level side-to-side and front-to-back.

5.Bolt the mill to the workbench with two 6mm cap screws (length determined in Step 1), hex nuts and flat washers.

Mounting Headstock to

Column

To install the headstock on the column, do these steps:

1.Set the base upright and slide the collar half way down the column.

2.Secure the collar by tightening the cap screw with a 4mm hex wrench, then slide the spacer over the column (see Figure 6).

3.Insert the column lock knob assembly into the head- stock, as shown in Figure 7.

4.Slide the headstock onto the column, line the chuck up with the hole in the base, and lock it in place with the column lock knob.

5.Thread the downfeed lever into the hub and tighten with the included wrench.
