VERTICAL MILLING MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS OF TABLE
FEED TRAVEL
ADJUSTMENTS OF TABLE FEED TRAVEL
Table longitudinal and cross feed can be set for any travel distance by adjusting
the stop set screws that are located in front of table and at the right side of knee.
ADJUSTMENT OF TABLE GIB:
The table is provided with a full length tapered gib in the saddle with an adjusting
screw on each end. To adjust the gib tighten the two screws until a slight drag is felt
when moving the table by hand. If the table is not tight enough, loosen the adjusting
screw on the small end, and tighten up adjusting screw on the big end. If the feel is too
tight, reverse the adjusting procedures.
ADJUSTMENT OF SADDLE AND KNEE GIBS:
To adjust the saddle and knee gibs, use the same method as described above is
used.
CLAMPING TABLE, SADDLE AND KNEE:
When milling with longitudinal table feed only, it is advisable to clamp the knee with
the column and the saddle with the knee to add rigidity to these members and provide
for heavier cuts with a minimum of vibration. The saddle locking lever is located on the
left side of the saddle. Apply moderate clamping pressure, as this will hold the saddle
sufficiently rigid. The table clamping levers are located in front of saddle and should
always be clamped when longitudinal movement is not required. The knee clamping
lever is at the left side of knee. Leave this clamped at all times unless the knee is in
operation.
REMOVING THE TABLE:
Remove the table as follows: hand wheel, dial holder, then bearing bracket. Turn
the lead screw all the way, so that it can be removed. After completing all these steps,
the table can be disassembled easily.
REMOVING SADDLE:
Remove as follows: hand wheel, dial holder, then bearing bracket. Turn the
leadscrew all the way, loosen set screw on the middle of the saddle, take off the lead
screw nut, and draw the saddle gib out. The saddle can then be removed.
