Each mark on the handwheel graduated dials (
Figure.13
)
represents 0.001" of movement. One full rotation of the
handwheel is equal to 0.050". The graduated dials can be
"zeroed" by grasping the knurled section and rotating the
graduated dial to "0".
Example:
To drill a series of holes with
1
⁄
2
" centers (0.500"), drill
the first hole, zero the graduated dial, move the table
0.500" (10 rotations of the handwheel) in the appropriate
direction, then drill the next hole.

The table can be moved in 2 axes. Each axis is
independently controlled by a crank handle. Each handle
has a graduated dial to accurately position the workpiece
in relation to the cutting tool (see
Figure.12
). Each axis
has the ability to be locked in position. Locking the
axis in place will help keep workpiece vibration to a
minimum.
Longitudinal.Feed.Control
The longitudinal feed is controlled by a crank handle at
the end of the table, and can be locked in position by the
cap screw located at the front of the table.
Cross.Feed.Control
The cross feed is controlled by the center crank handle,
and can be locked in position by the cap screw located
under the left side of the mill table.
