Initial Assembly and Testing (Continued)

q) Turn the Speed Control Switch On (Clicks On), advance until the chuck starts to rotate.

r) Over a period of approximately 5 minutes advance the speed in stages to maximum, run at

maximum for at least 2 minutes, check that there is nothing untoward, (no excessive vibration,

speed progression is smooth etc.). Stop the spindle and change the gear selector to H (High),

carry out the previous check. Repeat the checks with the motor set in reverse.

s) If all the above checks are correct, stop the spindle, (turn the speed control to zero and select

Off on the direction selector switch. Ensure the fine feed control is disengaged, using the ‘coarse’

feed lever handle, exercise the quill up and down, check the movement is smooth and precise.

t) Select the fine feed function, (if necessary ‘joggle’ the feed hand to enable the gears to mesh).

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.

u) Exercise the worktable and the traverse feed, check you have full travel and that the

movements are smooth and ‘tight’. Reposition the worktable approximately mid-way and lock in

position, check that the table will not move when ‘reasonable’ force is applied to either the

traverse or longitudinal feed handles. (Note. Reasonable force is meant to indicate that force you

would apply to proceed with the next action, and that the resistance to the action would make

you investigate as to why the action was blocked. It is not meant as a challenge for you to bunch

muscles and heave).

v) 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.

w) Loosen the tilt clamp bolts, and tilt the tool post to the left and right, clamp the tool post in an

arbitrary position and tighten the clamp bolts. Check that the tool post remains locked in place.

(WARNING. If the tool post is tilted too far out of the vertical the mill can become unstable if it is

not fastened to a solid workbench. Exercise care.) Return the tool post to the vertical.

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