M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill

OPERATIONS

Table Travel

The mill table of the Model M1109 can be moved in two axes—cross feed and longitudinal feed. Each of these axes are controlled by graduated handwheels to accurately position the workpiece in relation to the tool. To set the power feed for milling, refer to Setting Power Feed Rate on Page 27.

Cross Feed

The cross feed is controlled by the cross feed handwheel of the lathe shown in Figure 50.

Longitudinal Feed Control

The longitudinal feed is controlled by the longitudinal handwheel of the lathe, and the lock at the back of the saddle (see Figure 50).

Start Up and Spindle Break-in Procedures

It is essential to closely follow the proper break-in pro- cedures to ensure trouble free performance. Complete this process once you have familiarized yourself with all instructions in this manual.

To begin the start up procedure, do these steps:

1.Make sure the mill has been properly lubricated.

2.Make sure there are no obstructions around or underneath the spindle.

3.Set the spindle speed to 240 RPM.

4. Turn the mill ON (Figure 51).

5.Turn the spindle ON and run it a minimum of 10 minutes. Repeat this step on the other three RPM ranges.

NOTICE

Failure to follow start up and spindle break-in pro- cedures will cause rapid deterioration of spindle and other related parts, and never shift gears while lathe or mill is running.
