Initial Assembly and Testing
!
I
deally, your mill should be installed close to a correctly rated power supply, in a warm
dry environment, well ventilated and illuminated by bright clear natural light, with
adequate access all around the machine, and sufficient adjacent storage space for your
tools, accessories and material.
The Micro-Mill is best mounted on a rigid bed; this is to ensure stability of the machine and to
attenuate any vibration that is generated when the machine is running.
The bed should be flat and set level in both planes, and at a height that enables comfortable
operation of the machine. It is not necessary to anchor the bed through to the floor, but it must
be stable enough to remain immovable during any normal forceful operations (especially
tightening) carried out whilst operating your mill.
If you are preparing your own bed for the machine, it should be at least 400mm long by 250mm
wide; (to cover the footprint of the base (354 x 216), you will need to drill 4 No. 8.5mm holes to
allow for bolt fixing. Set out the centres of the holes in the following matrix: - 294mm x 186mm
Bolt the mill to the bed using M8 nuts, bolts and washers.
Locate and identify the 3 rod handles from the packing box. Fit these to the 3 wheel
handles, (Work table control, traverse feed control, head raise and lower control.)
Please read the section entitled Identification and Parts description so that you
may more easily identify the parts to which reference is made in the text.
