Bolting the PCNC to the Base
Once the mill has been safely placed on the landing
pads of the base, attach the mill to the base with
the 4 mounting studs (#6 in Figure 9)(M12 x 130) ,
lock washers (#7), washers (#8) and nuts (#9)(M12).
Do not tighten any of the nuts completely until you
have started each of them, as it may be necessary
to reposition the mill slightly to achieve alignment.

Attaching the Coolant Trays
After the mill is bolted to the base it is time to
attach the coolant trays. Position the trays near the
stand. (Figure 10). Test fit the coolant trays. The
left and right trays are different.
You need to seal the joints between the base and
the coolant trays with silicone caulk prior to
installing the coolant trays. It is best to caulk and
install one coolant tray at a time to ensure the caulk
does not begin to set up. Using silicone caulk make
a double bead all around one side of the stand as
shown in Figure 11.
It is very helpful to have another person help
position the tray and to hold it in place (Figure 12).
Prior to attaching the tray to the base with the
mounting bolts apply a small amount of silicone
caulk to each bolt hole as shown in Figure 13.
