7.3 Site preparation

The mill must be placed on an even surface and bolted to the floor. Anchor bolts of sufficient size and length must be fastened to the floor according to the mill’s footprint. See the site installation diagram in Figure 1.

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 through the hoisting ring which is mounted atop the 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 that table has been moved against column. Tighten ram locking bolts (A, Figure 3) before lifting.

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 level, with a machinist’s level placed on the table. Mill must be level back to front 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 placing 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.

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

(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 safely raise and 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 torqued, just snug for now. Before operating mill, follow procedures in section 11.1 to verify angle settings and properly tighten the four nuts.

Figure 4

5.Use mineral spirits, kerosene or other cleaning solvent, to remove all rust-proofing from where 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 film 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 machine. 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, aligning roll pin with a hole. Tap handle lightly until it is flush against hub surface.

13.Install elevating (knee) crank on its shaft.

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 Light.

B.Oil Pump – Fill reservoir as needed by removing cap on top of tank and filling with Mobil Vactra Oil No. 2. Pump oil release handle once for every hour of operation. Way surfaces and leadscrews are lubricated in this manner.

C.Knee Leadscrew – Lubricate with Mobilith® AW2 once a week.

Figure 5: lubrication

8.0 Electrical connections

All electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.

Confirm that power at the site matches power requirements of the mill before connecting to power source.

8.1Conversion from 115V to 230V (JVM-836-1 only)

To convert from 115V to 230V operation, remove junction box cover on motor and change the wires according to diagram found on inside of cover.

Similar diagrams are found in section 14.0 of this manual. Note: If discrepancies arise, diagrams on machine take precedence.
