HOW TO USE:

1. Installation: Refer to the user manual for detailed setup instructions. Ensure the mill is positioned on a level and stable surface. Securely connect the power supply according to voltage requirements (115V or 230V).
2. Workpiece Setup: Mount your workpiece securely onto the mill table using clamps or a vise, ensuring proper alignment with the spindle.
3. Tooling Selection: Choose the appropriate milling cutter based on your desired operation (facing, slotting, pocketing, etc.) and install it securely into the spindle taper.
4. Speed and Feed Adjustments: Set the desired spindle speed and quill feed rate using the controls based on the material being machined and the type of cut. Consult cutting charts for recommended settings.
5. Operation:
• Engage the power feed (if applicable) and manipulate the table controls (X, Y, and Z) to position the cutter relative to the workpiece for machining. Utilize the DRO for precise positioning and reference.
• Safety: Always wear proper safety gear (eye protection, gloves, etc.) while operating the mill. Ensure all guards are in place and the machine is shut off before making adjustments or clearing chips.
