Lubricate the Quill Shaft assembly with light oil, weekly.
After use
Remove all swarf from the machine and thoroughly clean all surfaces.
Components should be dry, with machined surfaces lightly oiled.
Always remove Mill/Drill bits, and store in a safe place.
CUTTING SPEEDS
In order to preserve the cutting tool, avoid damaging the workpiece and to produce a good
finish, it is important to ensure the correct Cutting Speeds are used. Cutting Speed is the rate
at which the cutting tool passes over the work, and is given in Feet Per Minute.
Factors which determine the best speed to use in any operation are:
• Kind of material being worked, and its hardness value
• Quality of cut desired
• Type and size of Drill/Mill
• Depth of Cut
• Rate of Feed
As a general guide, the Mill/Drill speed for a given bit size is according to the table below,
using a light to moderate Feed rate. DO NOT force the tool.
Generally, the smaller the Mill/Drill the greater the required RPM. In soft material, the speed
should be higher than for hard metals.
IF you are not familiar with materials and cutting speeds, it is strongly recommended that you consult a
qualified person or attend a suitable course on the subject.
