Starting Milling

21

2. Milling

Mount the workpiece in the clamp.

With the screw heads pushed down, push in until the workpiece touches the back of the clamp on the right side.

Use a torque screwdriver to alternately tighten 

the screws in the two locations a half turn at 

a time. 

Tightening only one of the screws at 
a time may cause the workpiece to 
break or the screws to become loose 
during milling.

For Pin-Type Workpieces
