Quill power feed lever
Do not use power feed at speeds
above 3000 R.P.M.
It is recommended to disengage the
power feed worm gear whenever power feed is not
required. This avoids unnecessary wear on worm
gear.
Do not move Quill Power Feed
Lever unless motor is at a
complete stop. When changing lever position, do it
gently. If gear does not engage, jog the motor and
allow it to stop before attempting to change.
The quill power feed lever is located on right side of mill
head (Figure 9). It is used to engage and disengage the
quill power feed mechanism.
The power feed is engaged by pulling out the knob and
rotating handle to a new locked position. When engaged,
the power feed mechanism will drive spindle upward or
downward. The power feed mechanism will not drive
spindle when handle is in disengaged position.

Feed rate lever
The
Feed Rate Lever
(Figure 8) is used to set the per-
revolution rate of the power feed mechanism. Three feed
rates are available: 0.0015-inch, 0.003-inch, and 0.006-
inch per revolution. The positions are shown on an
indicator plate under the feed rate lever.
The rate is selected by pulling out knob on feed rate lever
and moving handle to the detent of desired feed rate.
Note:
The knob is spring loaded – pull out to rotate to
new position.
Unlike other controls on the machine, the lever shifts into
engagement more easily with the motor running, and the
quill feed lever engaged.
