5.3.4
Adjustment of milling depth according to
scale
Clamp the milling cutter and place the machine
onto the workpiece.
Unscrew the clamping and contact the
workpiece surface with the milling cutter. Then
clamp the machine again.
Adjust depth stop 45 up to the stop screw.
Set the top edge of the slidable needle 19 on
the depth stop to the zero point of scale 43.
Set the depth stop to the desired milling depth
and clamp it with the clamping arm 68c.
The empty stroke can be reduced to approx. 10
mm with knurling nut 28.
If you release the clamping at the machine, the
reverse stroke will be carried out automatically.
5.3.5
Fine adjustment of milling depth
A fine adjustment of the milling
depth can be achieved by turning
adjusting nut 30. One turn of the
adjusting nut causes a milling
depth adjustment of 1 mm.
5.4 Work instructions
5.4.1
Plunge milling
While milling ensure that the workpiece is secured,
that the router with base plate 3 and / or the limit
stops rests as even as possible and with an as large
as possible surface against the workpiece and that
large depths are milled in stages. Once you have set
the milling cutter speed, firmly hold onto the machine
with both hands and switch on the machine. Plunge
into the material up to the limit stop with an even feed
and then lock the machine. Only mill in counter
direction.
5.4.2
Milling with parallel stop
(see Fig. 1)
Parallel stop 13 is used to accurately guide the
machine along a straight workpiece edge.
Conversion:
Push the guide rods 36 laterally into the prism-
shaped openings of the base plate.
Roughly set the parallel stop to the desired
distance to the milling cutter and tighten the
wing screws 68a.
Knurling screw 34 permits you to accurately set
the distance to the milling cutter. Then tighten
the wing screws 68b.
Adjust the sliding pads on the parallel stop
The sliding pads 15 can be pushed together to adjust
the stop surface during processing of edge ends. To
do so, unscrew cylinder-head screws 83a, 86 and set
the sliding pads close to the milling cutter or push
them together completely.
5.4.3
Milling according to template
With the template guide 507 (see Fig. 4) it is possible
to mill shapes using self-made templates. Screw the
template guide onto the underside of base plate 3
using the countersunk screws 77. The template must
be wide enough to allow a secure guiding of the
machine.
5.4.4
Milling with parallel stop and roller edge
guide
(see Fig. 5)
(also available as special accessories)
The roller edge guide B can be fastened on parallel
stop 13 at the end of the screws using hexagon nuts
C. With this guide it is possible to carry out milling
work parallel to edges of any shape.
6 Service and maintenance
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
MAFELL machines are designed to be low in
maintenance.
The ball bearings used are greased for life. When the
machine has been in operation for a longer period of
time, we recommend to hand the machine in at an
authorised MAFELL customer service shop for
inspection.
Only use our special grease, order No. 049040 (1 kg
tin) for all greasing points.
