MILLING MACHINE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Attach the fuselage/column to the base

with big washer and lock nut. Tighten

the lock nut securely.

Install limit block and its wedge (gib) to the

fuselage/column. Position it about half-way

down the fuselage/column and snug the

lock handle. There is no need to overtighten

this handle as damage to the wedge could

occur. Top cover (#75 on parts diagram)

must be glued to top of column.

Install head stock and its wedge (gib) to

the fuselage/column. Parts #46 and #51

are mounted at this time. (See Vertical Z

Axis parts diagram in the manual.) Head is

heavy and two people might be required

for alignment and installation. It is also

best to fit the gib in contact with the

screws slightly, as well as, unlocking the

feed hub into its ‘normal feed’ position

(see label on side of head). Also, the head

lock handle should be loosened. Now

install and engage rack with head gear.

See the instruction manual for wedge (gib)

adjustment procedure and attach one

handle as shown to move head up and

down to check adjustment.

From the top, insert drawbar through

spindle while inserting chuck mandrel

assembly from below. IMPORTANT: The

notch in the R8 mandrel you are inserting

must be mated with the pin up inside the

spindle!

Install spring support to left side of column

with 3 screws.

Your MicroLux milling machine was assembled and tested at the factory, but was disassembled for safe shipment.

ssembly is not difficult, but care should be taken to follow these instructions in the proper sequence to assure safe and

successful operation of the machine. We assume you already have the usual assortment of shop tools, such as

wrenches, screw drivers, pliers and hex keys, needed to assemble small machinery.

Before starting the assembly sequence, carefully unpack and clean all machine elements. For proper part identification

and location, it will be most helpful to study the Assembly and Parts diagram included in the Instruction Manual.

Assembly Procedure:

Install remaining operating levers to

handle stock of spindle shaft (pinion).

Thread drawbar until seated and tighten

with spanner and open-end wrench.
