7.3 Site preparation
The mill must be placed o n an even surface and
bolted to the floor. Anchor bolts of sufficient size
and length must be f astened to the f loor according
to the mill’s footprint. See the site installation
diagram in Figure 1.
Mill must be supported equally
under all four corners. Failure to comply may
cause the column to twist and put a bind in the
ways.
7.5 Completing assembly
7.4 Lifting the mill
Finish removing the sides of the crate. Leave mill
bolted to pallet until ready to move to its final
location.
The preferred method for lifting mill is with a hook
throug h the hoisti ng r i ng wh ich i s mou nt e d a top t he
ram. Steady the mill to prevent it from spinning.
An alternate method for lifting mill is with a sling.
Refer to Figure 3 for proper position of sling under
ram. Note position of ram and t hat table has been
moved against column. Tighten ram locking bolts
(A, Figure 3) before lifting.
(Note: If the mill head is already upright, skip to
step 5 below. Otherwise, begin with step 1.)
Before attempting to raise mill
head, familiarize yourself with instructions in
section 11.1, for procedures to sa fely raise a nd
set up the mill head.
1. Remove handwheel (A, Figure 4).
2. Loosen four hexagonal nuts (B, Figure 4)
about 1/2 turn each counterclockwise, just
enough to allow rotation of head. Do not
remove these nuts unless you are prepared to
remove the head.
3. Apply upward pressure on motor by hand to
relieve pressure on worm mechanism, and use
a 19mm socket and breaker bar to turn worm
nut (C, Figure 4) and raise head to upright
position.
4. Slightly tighten nuts (B , Figure 4); not torq ued,
just sn ug f or no w. Before operating mill, follow procedures in section 11.1 to verify angle
settings and properly tighten the four nuts.
Figure 3: sling location
Keep people a safe distance
away while mill is being moved .
Carefully lift mill and move to a position over the
anchor bolts. Lower mill over anchor bolts and
check for leve l, with a machi nist’s level plac ed on
the table. Mill must be level back to fro nt and side
to side. Shim if necessary, but remember that mill
must be supported equally at all four corners.
Check for level before tightening anchor bolt nuts,
and check again after tightening them.
It is advisable when plac ing the mill on a concrete
floor to use grout (thin mortar) to correct any
unevenness in the concrete and provide a solid
foundation at all points.
Figure 4
5. Use mineral spirits, kerosene or ot her c leani ng
solve nt , to rem o ve all rust- p r oo fing from wher e
it may have been applied. This is important;
moving the table or any other components
before removing rust proofing will only put rust
proofing where you don’t want it. Do not use
gasoline, paint thinner, or lacquer thinner;
these will damage painted surfaces.
9
6. Lubricate exposed ways (see sect. 7.6), then
move each unit (table and ram) to the opposite
limit stop, and clean and lubricate the newly
exposed ways. Loosen bolts to unlock ram and
move it forward and backward to the full length
in order to clean and lubricate.
7. Cover all machined surfaces with a f ilm of light
machine tool oil to inhibit rust.
8. Remove wood block from below knee.
Some of the following steps may have already
been performed on the machi ne. If so, ignore the
instructions related to those particular steps.
Otherwise, perform them in the order listed.
9. Install the two table traverse handles and one
cross-feed handle on their respective shafts.
Tighten each handle using a wrench on the
flats.
10. Remove any rust proofing from drawbar. Install
drawbar with its washer into spindle center
through top of head assembly. When installing
tool into spindle, lock spindle and tighten
drawbar using provided wrench.
11. Slide the fine feed handwheel over the hub
and push it back until its roll pin engages hole
in hub, and handwheel is flush with hub
surface.
12. Place coarse feed handle on feed shaft,
alig ning rol l pin w ith a hole . Tap hand le lig htl y
until it is flush against hub surface.
13. Install elevating (knee) crank on its shaft.
Figure 5: lubrication
14. Install rubber way covers at front and behind
table.
7.6 Lubrication
Do not operate this milling
machine before fully lubricating it. Failure to
comply may damage machine.
Refer to Figure 5.
A. Spindle bearings – Fill oil cup once daily
with Mobil DTE® Oil Ligh t.
B. Oil Pump – Fill reservoir as needed by
