Begin drilling by using the quill feed levers.
6.3 In Tapping Mode
In general
, use low speeds for tapping. Tapping at high RPM
will tap more quickly, but there is a danger of damage to the
work piece and tool.
Tapping requires an accurate setting for the depth stop to
allow the machine to switch tapping direction and the removal
of the tapping bit.
Use the depth handle to bring the tip of the tapping bit to the
surface of the work piece and lock the quill lock handle (R).
Set the depth stop (M-tig.6) by turning the knob (S) for
tapping the required depth.
Unlock the quill lock handle (R) by turning counter-clockwise
and pushing in.
Begin tapping by using the quill feed levers.
NOTE:
While tapping, pause the spindle down feed at the bottom of
the operation to allow the breaking and reversal of rotation of
the spindle
6.4 Setting the Depth stop
Set the depth to zero by lowering and holding the cutting tools
to the surface of the work piece.
Unlock the depth scale by turning the lock knob (T)
Set the depth stop by rotating the depth stop knob (S) to the
desired depth.
Lock the depth scale by turning the lock knob (T)
Removing the tools from spindle bore
They are two types of chuck arbors and their removal is
slightly different.
Non-Treaded Type
Disconnect machine from power supply.
Place a thin wood plant on the worktable to protect the
surface of the worktable.
Raise the worktable to about 250mm under the bit.
Lower the spindle about 100mm and lock by using the quill
lock (R, Fig 10) or the lock knob of the down feed levers.
Place the drift key (U) into the aperture (V) of the quill and tap
the end of the drift key (U) with a hammer to tap until the bit
or chuck arbor falls down.
