Mill Operations
The powered operations of the MI mill are done at the control panel, which is
located on the movable arm to the left of the mill.
The only electrical control not located on this main panel is the master power
switch. It is located on the left side of the large electrical box that is attached
to the rear of the mill column. As a safety feature, the master power switch
also has the ability to accept a padlock to prevent unauthorized use of the
machine.
