This milling machine uses R8 spindle and arbours (tool holding device).

To mount the arbour in the machine insert arbour (A) up inside Spindle (B) and rotate it to insure key in spindle aligns with Keyway (C) on arbour , this will allow arbour to fully insert into spindle, diagram 1.

Rotate draw bar (D) located on top of vertical head by hand until fully hand tight (arbour should now be held in place inside spindle), diagram 2.

Place correct size spanner (19mm) on draw bar and pull spindle brake (E) located on left hand side of vertical head down then tighten draw bar using ratchet spanner, diagram 3.

note Draw bar does not need to be tightened to excess.

To select a high gear ratio rotate motor speed selector switch (A) on control panel to the left and push gear box selector lever (B) on right hand side of vertical head in and rotate to face forward as in diagram (1)

To select a low gear ratio rotate motor speed selector switch (A) on control panel to the right and push gear selector lever (B) on right hand side of vertical head in and rotate to face rear of head as in diagram (2)

To change spindle speed press Green spindle start button (C) on control panel and rotate variable speed handle (D) on right hand side of head clockwise to increase spindle speed or anti-clockwise to decrease spindle speed as in diagram (3)

Spindle Speed can be seen on speed indicator on front of head as in diagram (4) in this example if high gear ratio selected (E)1600 RPM if low gear ration selected (F) 180RPM To stop spindle press Red spindle stop button (G) on control panel as in diagram (5)

1) When machine is turned on the digital readout will perform an internal memory check and reset to last settings used. To reset the readout when datum has been established on work piece press the button for the axis you wish to set and the readout next to that axis will go blank (X axis) in example diagram (1)

2) Press the 0 button on the panel and a single 0 will then appear next to the X axis diagram (2)

3) Press the enter button (ENT) on the panel this will then set the X axis to Zero and 0.000 will appear next to the X axis diagram (3)

4) To set any other value repeat the above steps above using the value required for example 6.500 and this will appear next to the axis diagram (4)

Machine can be used for drilling operations by use of the quill to plunge into the material.

To operate quill feed manually release the quill lock (A) on the front of the vertical head by rotating it anti clockwise, diagram 1

Turn on the spindle and rotate the quill operating lever (B) on the right hand side of the vertical head in a clockwise direction to feed the drill/cutter into the work piece, diagram 2.

When released handle automatically return to its original position.

For greater travel of the quill, lock quill, pull lever out to the right, rotate anti-clockwise and re-engaged with the next set of holes on the spindle then release lock to continue drilling.

To operate quill automatically turn off spindle and rotate feed lever (A) on right hand side of vertical head anti clockwise to IN position diagram 1

Rotate quill feed rate lever (B) on left hand side of vertical head clockwise to appropriate speed (0.076mm/0.03”) per revolution in example, diagram 2

Push quill feed direction lever (C) on front of vertical head in to ensure downwards feed, diagram 3.

Turn spindle on, pull quill feed lever (D) on front of vertical head to the left to engage feed, diagram 3.

When drilling is complete push quill feed lever (D) to the right to disengage feed, diagram 4
