screw (Ref. No. 10).
•
Tighten each screw securely.
•
Attach one handwheel (Ref. No. 13) to
cross feed screw (Ref. No. 21) with key
(Ref. No. 5) and locking nut (Ref. No. 12).
•
Attach two handwheels to longitudinal

OPERATION
Refer to Figure 2.
•
The Milling Table is heavy. Do not lift it
by the crank handles
•
Make sure that drill press table is fas-
tened securely, does not shift in any
direction, and is clean and free of nicks
and burs.
•
Center table on drill press. There are
two
5
/
8
“ slots on each side of base for
securing to drill press.
•
If drill press table has T-slots, use four
T-nut clamp assemblies, two on each
side, to secure milling table. Clamp
assemblies are not supplied.
•
If drill press table has slots to fit T-nuts,
use four bolts with heavy washers (not
supplied) and attach T-nuts to bottom
of table. Secure milling table with lock-
ing nuts (not supplied).
•
If drill press table does not have T-slots
or threaded holes, drill and tap four
holes, matching location of
5
/
8
” slots in
base. Fasten milling table with four
bolts and heavy washers (not supplied).
ADJUST POSITION
•
Motion toward or away from operator
is adjusted with cross feed screw by
turning handwheel on the front.
•
Motion from side to side is adjusted
with longitudinal feed screw by turn-
ing handwheel on either side.
•
Use handwheels to move table to
desired position. Make sure that table
motion is smooth. Adjust wear plates if
necessary.
ADJUST WEAR PLATES
Refer to Figure 2.
•
Wear plates (Ref. No. 16) are used to
minimize play within guide grooves.
•
Wear plates should be adjusted to pro-
duce a uniform drag for entire length
of travel.
•
Both wear plates should be adjusted in
the same manner.
•
Loosen hex nuts (Ref. No. 19).
•
Adjust drag of wear plate by applying
an equal amount of torque to each set
screw (Ref. No. 15) at each end of the
wear plates. Adjust the screws until a
slight drag is felt when rotating the
handwheel.
•
Lock set screws into position by hold-
ing position with an L-wrench and
tightening hex nut.
INDEXING TABLE MOTION
•
Index collar rotates with handwheel
but can be reposiitoned to calibrate
table feed. Position table at a conve-
nient reference point.
•
Turn handwheel to move table oppo-
site to the direction which it will travel.
Slowly turn handwheel to bring table
back to reference point. This will take
out play in feed screw.
•
Hold handwheel steady and rotae
index collar to align it with scale.
•
Index collar can be calibrated to indi-
cate relative distance traveled in same
direction. Collar must be indexed again
to accurately indicate distances in
opposite direction.
