M1036 Micro Mill
Downfeed Controls
Quill Feed Control
The quill feed is controlled by the downfeed lever shown in Figure 14. The handle allows the mill to operate as a drill.
To use the downfeed lever, do this step:
1.Pull the quill downfeed lever (Figure 14) forward to feed the quill down towards the workpiece. The quill feed handle is spring loaded to assist in return- ing the handle to the upmost vertical position.
Micro Downfeed Knob
The micro downfeed knob is used to accurately control the quill depth (see Figure 15).
To use the micro downfeed handwheel, do these steps:
1.Push the clutch knob (Figure 15) in lightly and rotate the micro downfeed knob until the clutch knob engages the gear.
2.Rotate the micro downfeed knob clockwise to feed the quill down and counterclockwise to raise the quill.
Digital Height Gauge
The digital height gauge (Figure 16) provides accurate height measurements, zeroing at any height, and incremental readout adjustments.
ON/OFF button: Turns the digital height gauge ON or OFF. This gauge does not automatically turn OFF, so the batteries will die if the gauge is left ON.
ZERO button: Returns the digital readout to 0.000 independent of the height of the quill.
MM/IN button: Changes readout from inches to millimeters.
PLUS and MINUS buttons: Adds or subtracts from the number shown on the digital readout. You must hold the button for several seconds before it begins to function.
When the batteries wear out, open the cover shown in Figure 16 and replace the battery.
