Required tools
The following tools and aids must or should be avai-
lable during assembly:
• Common hand tools, such as Allen keys,
screwdrivers, plastic hammer, etc.
•
A work surface that is as flat as possible and

To avoid distortion caused by unevenly tightened
screws, the use of a torque wrench for load-bearing
screws M5 to M8 is recommended. Adhering to the
prescribed screw tightening torque also prevents un-
intentional loosening during later operation of the
machine.
Optional accessories
The fully assembled machine can be further supple-
mented and adapted to your requirements with op-
tional accessories. In the Sorotec shop you will find,
among other things:
• milling spindles
• base
• enclosure
• vacuum table
• control electronics
• control software
• minimum quantity lubrication
Caution!
Only carry out the work if you are familiar with the
necessary actions and suitable tools are available.
Sorotec GmbH assumes no liability for damage to
property or personal injury occurring during assem-
bly or operation of the CNC portal milling machine!
General information
Please assemble the kit as carefully and precisely
as possible - the accuracy of the finished machine
does not only depend on the quality of the delivered
components, but also to a high degree on the correct
assembly and exact alignment. Before assembly, all
components must be checked for burrs and rewor-
ked if necessary.
