your power feed installation should be quick and
trouble free.
To install the power feed:
1. DISCONNECT THE MILL FROM POWER!
2. Loosen the gib screw lock nuts (Figure 4),
and adjust the X-axis table gib screws, so the
table moves with slight resistance as felt in
the handwheel.
4. Locate the X-axis lead screw half-nut (see
Figure 5).
5. Adjust both cap screws until the handwheel
has approximately 0.003" backlash as shown
by the dial.
8. Carefully slide the circuit board and vent
cover from the housing a few inches as
shown in Figure 6.

13. Using a hammer, and working from the inside
out as shown in Figure 10, drive both wedge
pins from the end plate.
DO NOT attempt to take a short cut and ham-
mer the protruding pins flush with the end
plate cover. The pins are tapered and you
WILL crack the end plate.
15. Using soft jaws, secure the end plate in a vise with the painted surface facing up (Figure
11).
Soft Jaw
Figure 11. End plate surface preparation.
16. Using a 10" or longer flat metal file, remove
any high spots in the paint and give the end
cap a flat surface for the power feed to mate
with.
Note:We do not recommend removing the
paint completely, just ensure that the surface
is flat.
File this portion of the
tapered pin, so when it
is reinstalled, the pin is
slightly recessed below
the surface of the end
cap.
Figure 10. Pin removal.
14. Using a file or bench grinder, shorten the
pins, so they are recessed slightly below the
face when reinstalled.
17. Using a standard screwdriver, scrape away
any paint from the bushing bore (Figure 12),
so when the power feeder is mounted, the
bushing sits properly in the bore without binding.

Step 6.
Model H8178 (Mfg. Since 07/07)
NOTICE
Make sure to position the left and right
stops so that the table can travel an additional 10mm before the leadscrew runs out
of thread. The reason for this additional
table travel is that after using the rapid feed
feature, the momentum of the motor armature keeps rotating leadscrew so the table
moves a few millimeters past your normal
stop location. If the lead screw runs out of
travel before the table naturally slows to a
stop, a damaging hard stop will occur.
Periodically, make sure that you always
have the appropriate table free travel past
the stop setting to prevent damaging hard
stops.
24. Install the appropriate left and right feed stops
for your milling machine into the table slot, as
shown in Figure 17.
26. Install the limit switch mounting plate on the
side of the milling table base so the limit
switch stop pins are horizontally aligned with
the stop pins as shown in Figure 18.
Also make sure that when mounted, the limit
switch housing has enough of a gap (also
shown in Figure 18) between the gib screw
lock nut so it can be adjusted.
27. When the mounting plate is properly positioned, center punch one mounting hole.

Note: You may want to additionally drill and
insert a roll pin to prevent any chance of a
stop block inadvertently moving past the stop
setting. If the stop moves past your maximum
stop setting, the lead screw will run out of
thread and slam the table and power feed to
a hard stop causing possible damage.

28. Using your electric drill, drill one #25 mount-
ing hole 1/2" deep into the table base.
29. Using a #10-24 bottoming tap, cut threads
into the hole.
30. Secure the limit switch mounting plate to the
table base with one #10-24 x 1/2" flat head
screw.
31. Center punch the other hole and drill, tap,
and install the remaining screw.
32. Install the limit switch to the mounting plate
with the three previously removed screws.

the requirements at the beginning of this manual
when connecting your machine to a power source.
WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires
or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice
that any wires or components are damaged while
performing a wiring task, replace those wires or
components.
MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.
CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.
