Part 1 Setting Up
Installing an End Mill
Install a collet that matches the shank diameter of the end mill. The combination of end mill and collet is correct if the diameter of the
end mill just fits in the hole in the collet.
The collet included with the high-torque spindle has a diameter of 6 mm. When using an end mill having a diameter other than 6 mm
(i.e., a diameter of 10, 8, 6.35, 5, 4, 3.2, or 3 mm), the optionally available collet set (ZC-500T) is required.
Insert the end mill into the collet. 1
Insert the assembly from step 1 into the lower part of the
spindle. While supporting the end mill with your hand to
keep it from falling, rotate the spindle pulley to secure in
place. 2
