PARTS IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
Please take some time to identify the various parts of your machine so that you are
familiar with the terminology we will use to enable you to set up and operate your Mill
safely and correctly.
Main tool post This is the column of the mill, it is an 65 x 50 bar with a dovetail
slide machined on the front onto which the milling head is
mounted, the lower part is the circular ʻbossʼ for the tilt assembly.
On the left side of the post a scale, graduated in mmʼs, is mounted
to read against an adjustable pointer mounted on the head casting.
Rise and fall The Rise and Fall drive screw is anchored in a machined housing
at the top of drive screw the main tool post. It has a wheel and rod
handle keyed to the shaft to enable the screw to be turned. It is fed
through a threaded dog that is bolted to the head casting allowing
the head to be moved up and down. Viewed from above the drive
screw is turned clockwise to raise the head and anti-clockwise to
lower it.
Tilt housing The tilt housing is mounted to the base casting using 4 bolts. The
tilt ʻbossʼ of the main tool post is mated to the housing and
clamped by a urther 4 bolts. The main tool post can tilt 45
(degrees) from the vertical either left or right. There is an
adjustable pointer and a scale mounted on the housing to give an
indication of the amount of tilt that has been applied.
Milling head This is the ʻmilling machineʼ and the descriptions of its
various parts and components are detailed as follows:-
Milling head The main casting to which all the components are attached. The
casting head has a dovetail housing machined at the rear, which allows
the casting to be fitted to the Main Tool Post. The left side of the
dovetail slide is fitted with a gybe strip to maintain the fit.
Head clamp Located between the gybe strip adjusters and locknuts is an handled
bolt that clamps the gybe strip against the slide to effect a locking
action for the rise and fall of the head.
Rise and fall An ʻLʼ shaped casting that is threaded to accept the rise and fall
drive screw dog drive screw, and is driven along the thread when the screw is
turned. As it is bolted to the milling head, the head will therefore
follow its movement as it is being driven.
Motor and The motor and gearbox assembly are mounted above the main
gearbox head casting at the top of the arbor sleeve. The motor drive is
geared through to the spindle with an intermediate 2:1 gearbox.
