Assembly of the milling machine
Mounting on lathe PD 230/E
1. Mounting lathe on a firm base.
2. Attach the mounting block 1 (Fig. 5) to the lathe 3 using
screws 2 (Do not tighten screws yet!)
3. Tighten screw 3 (Fig. 6) and insert in pillar 1.
4. Tighten screw 4 to clamp the pillar.
5. Attach the milling table 3 (Fig. 7) to the lathe support
using screws 2 and square nuts 1.
Mounting of milling machine on KT 230 compound-type
table
Note:
Safe and precise operation is only possible if the machine
is properly fastened to a stable work surface.
1. Attach compound-type table to work surface using 4
screws 1 (M4, not included) (Fig. 8).
2. When working in conjunction with the PROXXON
PF 230 milling machine, insert pillar in flange and clamp
using screws 2.
The middle screw (between the two locking screws) is a
spreader screw. By tightening this screw, the opening can
be widened slightly, making it easier to insert the column.
Before clamping the column, do not forget to loosen this
screw again!
Working with the milling device
Important!
Disconnect the mains plug before making any adjustments
on the milling machine!
The milling spindle on the PF 230 may be adjusted in
height in 2 ways (Fig. 9):
1. Using the fine tolerance feed 1
2. Using the drill lever 2
Height adjustment via fine tolerance feed
1. Loosen screw 3 (Fig. 9).
2. Adjust to the desired height using the hand wheel 1
(1 rotation corresponds to 1 mm feed).
3. Screw 3 must always be tightened again.
Feed via drill lever
1. Loosen screw 4 (Fig. 9).
2. Loosen screw 6 and set scale 5 to zero.
Retighten screw 6.
3. Adjust to the desired height using the drill lever 2.
4. Retighten screw 4.
Note:
The drill lever can be used for height adjustment as well as
for drilling. When drilling, do not tighten screw 4.
Rotating milling spindle
The entire milling spindle may be rotated along 2 axes. To
rotate along the vertical axis, loosen screw 4 (Fig. 6) and
rotate entire pillar to the desired position. Then retighten
screw.
To rotate along the horizontal axis, loosen screw 1 (Fig. 10)
and rotate milling spindle to the desired position. Adjust to
the desired degrees on scale 2 and retighten screw 1.
