Drilling/Milling Speed
Before performing any work, set the spindle to a correct running speed.
The normal operating speed range for working is from 0 to 2500rpm. Most of the time, choosing the correct
speed will depend on the size of the workpiece and the material. Generally, you can use higher speed for softer
material or workpieces with small holes. Use a lower speed setting for harder material or workpieces with bigger
holes.
A good rule of thumb is:
Small holes and soft material will need higher speed settings. Avoid drilling above 2300rpm if your workpiece is
made of wood, as you may run the risk of burning it. For metal workpieces, the speed range can be 0 to
2500rpm.
Operational Checklist
IMPORTANT
! Please ensure to follow these instructions as you operate the machine to ensure operational
safety and to maintain its working capacity.
Before Turning ON
•
Before turning ON the power, inspect the tool chuck and cutter. If they are loose, re-tighten them securely.
•
Inspect each machine part to see if they are loose and re-tighten them securely.
•
Check if the speed adjustment rod is at a correct position and re-position securely if needed.
•
The workpiece is securely fixed onto the fixture.
•
Clean or remove obstacles and debris around the machine.
During Operation
•
Never drink any form of alcoholic drinks or strong spirits while operating the machine.
•
Do not wear any thick gloves or articles of clothing (i.e. neckties, jewelleries, etc.) that could get stuck in any
part of the machine.
•
Select and install an appropriate cutter, and ensure they are securely fastened.
•
If vigorous shaking occurs, the following conditions will likely cause it:
−
The depth of the cut is too deep.
−
The feeding speed is too fast.
−
The rotating speed is too fast.
−
The machine and stock plane are not secured firmly.
−
The vise and workpiece are not secured firmly.
Protection and Maintenance
•
Perform frequent maintenance checks and record any unusual findings.
•
Ensure that the power is turned OFF before performing any maintenance work on the machine.
