stand that can support 5 to 6 times the weight of the machine without any appreciable,
permanent information. The bench top should be rigid, level and well supported.
Your work bench should be located in a vibration-free area with a floor that is designed to
support the full weight of the bench, machine, accessories and materials.
4.4 LEVELING
Before any machining of the work piece is done, it is crucial to level your machine for best
results.
Step 1 : Find a relatively flat surface for the installation of the machine and place the machine
stand in this spot taking note of the suggested clearances in table 4.1
Step 2 : Position the X & Y Axes slides as close to the mid-stroke position as possible. The X & Y
axes can be repositioned manually with the knurled wheels at the end of the axes screws. (For
leveling purposes, position of the Z axis is not as critical as the X & Y axes slides).
Step 3 : Make sure your stand’s feet or leveling pads are touching the ground at the same time.
If not, adjust the feet to make sure the machine stand does not physically rock.
Step 4 : Once all the feet or leveling pads are touching the ground and the machine is not
rocking, adjust the middle two feet (on both sides of the machine) off the ground by about ¼
inch while the front and rear feet are on the ground.
Step 5 : Place a machinist level on the mill table, parallel to the Y axis. If the level bubble is not in
the center of the scale, adjust the left and right side of the feet up or down to bring the bubble
in the center (i.e. you are tilting the machine sideways in relation to the Y axis of the machine).
Step 6 : Now place the level parallel with the X axis. If it is not in the center of the scale, adjust
the feet at the front and rear of the machine to bring the bubble to the center (i.e. you are
tilting the machine front to back in relation to the X axis of the machine).
Step 7 : Keep the levels in place, drive the middle feet to the ground and make sure the bubble
position does not change.
Step 8 : Once both adjustments are completed, reposition the slides several times and
reposition the slides in the middle stokes (NOTE: this is done after you have hooked the control
system to your bed mill).
