etc.). Stop the spindle and change the gear selector to H (High), carry out the previous check.

p) If all the above checks are correct, stop the spindle, (turn the speed control to zero and press the Off button

(Red). Push the Tri-lever feed handle in (if necessary ‘joggle’ the feed to enable the gears to mesh), exercise the

quill up and down, check the movement is smooth and precise.

q) With the Tri-lever engaged, raise and lower the quill using the fine feed control. Check the movement is

smooth and precise, there are no hard spots and the feed doesn’t bind up. Disengage the tri-lever by pulling

the assembly back.

r) Ensure the head lock clamp is loosened and exercise the rise and fall, driving the head up and down the

tool post. Check the movement is smooth and tight. Leave the head fairly well down the tool post for the next

check.

s) Loosen the 36mm tilt clamp bolt, to the rear of the tool post and tilt the tool post to the left or right, clamp

the tool post in an arbitrary position and tighten the bolt. Check that the tool post remains locked in place.

t) If all the above checks are correct, your mill is now ready for use.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION

Please take some time to identify the various parts of your machine so that you are familiar with the terminology we will use to enable you to set up and operate your Mill safely and correctly.

Main tool post This is the column of the mill, it is an 65 x 50 bar with a dovetail

slide machined on the front onto which the milling head is mounted, the lower part there is a pre-drilled hole which slides over the tilt housing shaft and secured in place by a 36mm nut. On the left side of the post a scale, graduated in mm’s, is mounted to read against a pointer mounted on the head casting.

Rise and fall Rise and fall, there is a dovetail slide machined on each side of the the mechanism headbox support column which mounts a through shaft. A pinion gear

is mounted on the shaft inside the headbox that meshes with a rack on the support column, driving the pinion shaft will cause the headbox to rise and fall up and down the headbox support column. The part of the shaft protruding from the headbox has a hole through it to mount the tri-lever feed assembly.

Tilt housing The tilt housing is mounted to the base casting using 3 M8x30 caphead

bolts and washers. The tool post is mated to the housing and clamped by a 36mm nut. The main tool post can tilt 45˚ from the vertical either left or right. There is a pointer and a scale mounted on the housing to give an indication of the amount of tilt that has been applied.

Milling head This is the ‘milling machine’ and the descriptions of its

various parts and components are detailed as follows:-

Milling head The main casting to which all the components are attached. The casting head has a dovetail housing machined at the rear, which allows

the casting to be fitted to the Main Tool Post. The left side of the dovetail slide is fitted with a gybe strip to maintain the fit.

Head clamp Located to the right side of the main tool post above the gybe strip

adjusters and locknuts is a handled bolt that clamps the gybe strip against the slide to effect a locking action for the rise and fall of the head.

Motor and The motor and gearbox assembly are mounted above the main gearbox head casting at the top of the arbor sleeve. The motor drive is

geared through to the spindle with an intermediate 2:1 gearbox.

Gear change The gear change lever allows the selection of the high or low ratio lever of the gear train. The speed of the spindle is then governed by the

speed control on the motor panel. (You may have to ‘joggle’ the chuck/tool to aid the meshing action).

Motor A 220V d.c. motor rated at 350W.

Tri-Lever feed Three levered handle that is used to drive the quill (and hence the

chuck or the tool) up and down. The boss of the handle is fitted to the end of a ‘splined’ gear shaft. This ‘splined’ gear is, in turn, engaged in the rack cut into the quill body. The other end of the ‘splined’ shaft is engaged in a contra-wound spring, this provides counter balance to the weight of the quill, arbor, chuck and drill, giving a more controlled ‘feel’ during drilling operations. It also retracts the quill when drilling is completed.

Fine feed The fine feed assembly floats around the splined gear shaft that assembly drives the quill up and down. When the action of the fine feed

mechanism is required; pushing the tri-lever feed handle in ‘engages’ the knob of the fine feed control meshes the gearing (you may have to ‘joggle’ the feed handle to aid the meshing action) between the splined shaft and the fine feed control shaft; this enables the spindle to be driven by the fine feed control wheel with greater precision. Behind the boss of the fine feed control wheel handle is a graduated ring (thimble) so that the movement of the quill can be measured. The thimble is held to the drive shaft by friction, and can be pre-positioned to establish a predetermined start or stop dimension.

Quill hold pocket The size of the machine precludes any ‘fancy’ locking mechanism for

the quill. There is a blind pocket on the spindle that accepts the tommy bar supplied in the tool kit, to enable the spindle to be held in position whilst the draw bar is loosened.

Draw bar cover A moulded plastic cover that clips into the top of the Motor Gearbox

assembly, to afford protection from the rotating top of the draw bar, when the quill is at the top of its travel.

Draw bar This is a metal rod, threaded at one end and with an 19mm (unseen) squared shank and flange machined on the other. It is fitted through

the spindle mandrel to hold the fitted tool/tooling hard into the No. 3 MT taper of the spindle shaft.

Motor control Power On LED panel Green LED that indicates that power is available to the motor. i.e.

mains is applied, fuse is intact and the Emergency stop switch is not activated.

Fault LED

(marked UN-NORMAL)

Amber LED that indicates that there is a fault or an incorrect control sequence. i.e. the chuck guard interlock has been activated or the speed control is activated. The Motor will not run if the fault LED is illuminated. If the safety interlock is activated, the safety interlock will remain in force until the interlock is reset and the start sequence re-initiated.

Fuse Cap

Access cap for the 20mm fuse cartridge (1 Amp 250V) Speed Control Knob Round raised ridge knob connected to the circuit that controls the spindle speed (0-1100 rpm or 0-2500 depending upon the gearbox selection).

Warning. Do not operate the mill in any function unless the head clamping lever is tightened.

TOOL CHANGING

Note. The taper socket in the spindle mandrel does not have a ‘drive flat’ and all tooling, including the drill chuck is secured and driven by the taper lock and the draw bar.

Make sure the power is switched off or better still remove the power from the machine.

Locate and put to hand the 19mm A/F spanner and the tommy bar. Remove the Draw Bar Cover. Hold the quill immovable by inserting the tommy bar into the quill hold pocket and loosen the draw bar. Unscrew two or three turns and then strike sharply with a hammer (preferably a copper face, to prevent the head of the draw bar peining over) this will break the lock between the tool and the spindle tapers .

Unscrew the draw bar from the tool. Ensure the tool is supported, i.e. will not fall onto the workpiece/table et al. When it is free put the tool carefully aside, remove the draw bar, check the thread, check the taper and the thread of the new tool are clean and undamaged, introduce the new tool into the taper, re-insert the draw bar and screw into the top of the tool.

Screw in the draw bar finger tight. Hold the quill immovable and tighten with the spanner. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Replace the draw bar cover.

Remove all tooling and reconnect the machine. Ensure the tool path is clear, switch on, and check that the tool is correctly seated, is running true etc. If all is O.K, proceed.

Milling (all cases) Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped to the table.

Along the longitudinal Ensure that the quill is locked in position before Axis (X) milling is commenced. Ensure the traverse slide lock

is tightened.

Along the Traverse Axis (Y) Ensure that the quill is locked in position before milling is

commenced. Ensure the worktable lock is tightened.

Milling or Drilling Vertically Ensure the traverse slide and the worktable locks are (Z) tightened.

Milling head adjustment

The Milling Head is mounted over a dovetail section. In order to maintain the ‘tightness’ of the fit; between the sloping surface of the component and its mating surface, on the right hand side, a gybe strip has been inserted. To adjust the gybe strip, use the supplied allen key and spanner, release the lock nuts and screw the gybe strip grubscrews clockwise to compensate for any slackness or anti-clockwise to loosen the movement. Check, using the rise and fall drive feed handles, that the head moves smoothly, If not, repeat the adjustments until the movement is smooth and tight over the whole of the travel.

MILL TABLE ASSEMBLY

The Mill/Drill includes a milling table as an accessory. To install the milling table the compound slide must be removed from the cross slide from the lathe bed. Once installed, the milling table can move back and forth with the cross slide. Follow the instruction below to install table.

1) Using a 12mm spanner remove the two bolts that secure the compound slide to the cross slide, remove the compound slide and place safely aside. (See fig A)

3) Locate the milling table and the supplied caphead bolts. Lower the table onto the cross slide, line up the holes and insert and secure the table using a 6mm allen key. (See fig C)

2) Using a Phillips screwdriver remove the four grub screws from the cross slide and place safely aside. (See fig B)
