Maintenance

CHANGING THE GEAR BOX OIL

Tilt the head stock over as shown in Fig 1.Open the drain plug to allow the oil to drain from the opening completely. Then lock the oil drain plug and turn the head to be upright position. Remove the oil filler plug fill the oil to the gear box until the oil lever reach the middle of oil fluid lever indicator.
Then lock the plug.

CLEANING

1. Your machine has been coated with a heavy grease to protect it in shipping. This coating should be completely removed before operating the machine. Commercial degreaser, kerosene or similar solvent may be used to remove the grease from the machine, but avoid getting solvent on belts or other rubber parts.
2. After cleaning, coat all bright work with a light lubrication. Lubricate all points with a medium consistency machine oil.

LUBRICATION:

All ball bearings in your mill/drill are sealed for life, requiring no lubrication. Points requiring lubrication are:

1. Internal spline drive assembly. Keep this area well lubricated with a good grade grease , insert grease in the hole at the top of spindle pulley spline driver, lube twice yearly.
2. A light film of oil applied to the quill and column will reduce wear, prevent rust, and assure ease of operation.
3. Quill return spring should receive oil once yearly. Remove cover plate and apply oil with squirt can or small brush.
4. IMPORTANT: The gear box should be oiled with a lubricant such as sae 68 oil in level. CHANGE OIL EVERY ONE YEAR.
5. Apply lubricant to quill pinion every 90 days.
   NOTE: use extreme care when performing this operation and keep hands clear of pinch points. When using paraffin bar, do this only by turning the sheaves by hand. Do not apply with motor running.

USE OF MAIN MACHINE PARTS

1. To raise and lower the head by head handle.
2. Equipped with an electric switch for tapping operation clockwise or counter clock wise.
3. To adjust the quick or slow feeding by feed handle.
4. To adjust the table left and right travel by table handle wheel.
5. To adjust the table fore and after travel by table handle wheel.
6. To operate the spindle handle wheel for micro feed.
7. To adjust the scale size according to working need.

PRECAUTION FOR OPERATION

Check all parts for proper condition before operation; if normal safety precautions are noticed carefully, this machine can provide you withstanding of accurate service.

1. Before Operation
   (a) Fill the lubricant
   (b) In order to keep the accurate precision, the table must be free from dust and oil deposits.
   (c) Check to see that the tools are correctly set and the workpiece is set firmly.
   (d) Be sure the speed is not set too fast.
   (e) Be sure everything is ready before use

2. After Operation
   (a) Turn off the electric switch.
   (b) Turn down the tools.
   (c) Clean the machine and coat it with lubricant.
   (d) Cover the machine with cloth to keep out the dust.

3. Adjustment of head
   (a) To raise and lower the head, loosen the leaf screw located on the right side of the raise and lower base. When the desired height is reached tighten leaf screw to avoid vibration.
   (b) Head may be rotated 360°by loosening the same bolts mentioned above. Adjust the head to the desired angle, then fix the heavy duty head locknuts, It is tighten the same to fix the head if drilling &milling too much.
   (c) Unscrew 3 nuts while the workpiece needs to be drilled. Turn to the degrees you wish on the scale, then screw the 3 nuts.

4. Adjustment of the lifting table
   (a) Loosening the locking handles, rocking the crank to move the lifting table up and down along the column, when arrived the height of your request, tighten the handles to prevent loose.
   
   Fig.1

(b) When need to working large parts, loosening the locking handles, rotating the lifting table of 180°, then tighten the handles, and place the part on the base to work on it.

QUILL RETURN SPRING ADJUSTMENT:

Spring tension for return of spindle, after hole drilling, has been pre-set at the factory. No further adjustment should be attempted unless absolutely necessary. Adjustment will probably be required if a multiple spindle drilling or tapping head is used. If adjustment is necessary, loosen lock screw while holding quill spring housing. Do not allow the housing to turn in your hand, or spring will unwind. Turn entire housing assembly clockwise the number of turns necessary to cause the quill to return to its up position.(NOTE: The flat of the spring housing pilot is lined up with the spring loading hole on the body of the spring housing.) Reset lock screw make sure point of screw mates the flat on the housing journal.

1. Preparing for Drilling(see fig.2)(Except addition power feed system).
   Turn of the knob make loose the taper body of worm gear and spring base. Then we decide spindle stroke setting the positive depth stop gauge for drilling blind hole or free state for pass hole.
   

2. Preparing for milling(see fig.2)( Except addition power feed system)
   (a)Adjust the positive depth stop gauge to highest point position.
   (b)Turn tight of the knob be use to taper friction force coupling the worm gear and spring base. Then turning the handle wheel by micro set the spindle of work piece machining height.

ADJUSTING TABLE SLACK AND COMPENSATE FOR WEAR(see fig.3)

1. Your machine is equipped with jib strip adjustment to compensate for wear and excess slack on cross and longitudinal travel.
2. Clockwise rotation the job strip bolt with a big screw for excess slack otherwise a little counter clockwise if too tight.
3. Adjust the jib strip bolt until feel a slight drag when shifting the table.

CLAMPING TABLE BASE AND MACHINE BASE(See Fig.3)

Fig.3

1. When milling longitudinal feed. It is advisable to lock the cross feed table travel to insure the accuracy of your work. To do this, tighten the small leaf screw located on the right side of the table base.
2. To tighten the longitudinal feed travel of the table for cross feed milling, tighten the two small leaf screw on the front of the table base.
3. Adjustable travel stops are provided on the front of the table for control of cross travel and the desired milling length.

TO CHANGE TOOLS

1. Removing Face Mill or Drill Chuck Arbor Loosen the arbor bolt at the top of the spindle shaft approximately 2 turns with a wrench. Rpa the top of the arbor bolt with a mallet.
   After taper has been broken loose, holding chuck arbor on hand and turn detach the arbor bolt with the other hand.

2. To install Face Mill or Cutter Arbor
   Insert cutter and cutter arbor bolt detach securely, but do not over-tighten.

3. Removing Taper Drills
   (a) Turn down the arbor bolt and insert the taper drill into the spindle shaft.
   (b)Turn the rapid down handle rod down until the oblong hole in the rack sleeve appears. Line up this hole with the hole in the spindle. Insert key punch key through holes and strike lightly with a mallet. This will force the taper drill out.
