Controls &
Components
To reduce your risk of
serious injury, read this
entire manual BEFORE
using machine.
Refer to the following figures and descriptions to
become familiar with the basic controls and com-
ponents of this machine. Understanding these
items and how they work will help you understand
the rest of the manual and minimize your risk of
injury when operating this machine.
A. Y-Axis Handwheel w/Graduated Scale:
Moves table forward and backward when
handwheel is perpendicular to rotary table
handwheel (
F) as shown; moves table side
to side on X-axis when handwheel is parallel
with rotary table handwheel. One full turn of
the handwheel moves the table 0.1".
B. Y-Axis Leadscrew Cover: Protects
leadscrew from debris and provides access
for lubrication.
C. Table T-Slots: Are used to secure a workpiece
to the table with
7
⁄
16
" or 10mm fasteners.
D. X-Axis Handwheel w/Graduated Scale:
Moves table side to side when handwheel
is parallel with rotary table handwheel (
F) as
shown; moves table forward and backward
on Y-axis when handwheel is perpendicular
to rotary table handwheel. One full turn of the
handwheel moves the table 0.1".
E. Ball Oilers: Are used to lubricate the rotary
table leadscrew and worm gear.
F. Rotary Table Handwheel w/Graduated
Scale: Rotates the table through a full 360°
rotation. One full rotation of the handwheel
turns the table 4°.
G. Rotary Table Locks: Lock the table in place.
This reduces the stress on the worm and
spur gear interface and helps ensure the
table does not change position during heavy
machining operations.
H. Rotary Table Degree Scale: Graduated in
whole degrees for rotational table positioning.
I. Horizontal Mounting Slot: Use to attach
T1243 to milling machine table with T-bolt.
J. Table Gib Adjustment Screws: Provide
adjustment for play in the table without caus-
ing the slides to bind.
K. Cross Slide Gib Adjustment Screw (1 of
3): Provides adjustment for play in the cross
slide without causing the slides to bind.
