SPINDLE ACCESSORY INTERCHANGE
• Rotate the Spindle Motor “ON/OFF/ Speed Control” Switch to “OFF” (Noticeable
Detent) and unplug the Mill unit from the power source.
• The Mill is supplied with the 1/2” [13mm] Drill Chuck installed in the R8 Taper
Spindle Arbor.
• The Included 3/8” [9.5mm] R8 Taper Collet may be substituted to accept the
Included 3/8” End Mill (or other 3/8” tool).
• To Interchange:
Uninstall Chuck (or Collet)
- Remove the plastic Drawbar Cover
“5”
from the top of the Headstock
exposing the Drawbar.
- Rotate the Spindle by grasping the installed Chuck (or Collet) and at the same
time, insert the Spindle Locking Pin
[S]
into the hole located at the right side
of the Upper Headstock Plate
(FIG 18)
and allow it to slip into a notch
machined into the upper Spindle. This will prevent the Spindle from rotating.
- Using the included 17mm Wrench
(FIG 18)
, loosen the Drawbar “5” several
turns but DO NOT REMOVE IT.
- Use a Brass Mallet (not included) to tap the top of the Drawbar
(FIG 19)
to
dislodge the tapered Arbor in the Spindle.
- Once the Chuck (or Collet) drops slightly, continue to loosen the Draw Bar
by hand until the Arbor is released into a waiting hand. DO NOT ALLOW IT
TO DROP.
Install Collet (or Chuck)
- Insert the Tapered section of the Collet (or Chuck) up into the Spindle until
the Taper is seated.
- Tighten the Drawbar sufficiently to draw the Tapered Arbor into the Spindle.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE DRAW BAR.
- Remove the Spindle Locking Pin.
- Replace the plastic Drawbar Cover.
