possible solution
1. snug up drawbar.
2. use correct collet for shank diameter.
3. remove oil and debris from collet and spindle mat-
ing surfaces, then re-install.
4. decrease depth of cut and allow chips to clear.
1. use correct spindle rpM and feed rate (Page 28).
2. use coolant; reduce spindle rpM/feed rate.
3. decrease depth of cut and allow chips to clear.
1. decrease depth of cut and allow chips to clear.
2. use sharp tooling.
1. tighten all locks on mill that are not associated with
movement for the operation.
2. Check that clamping is tight and sufficient for the
operation; make sure mill vise is tight to table.
3. secure tooling; replace if damaged.
4. use correct spindle rpM and feed rate (Page 28).
5. Adjust gibs properly (Page 45).
1. Fully loosen locks needed for movement.
2. Frequently clean away chips that load up during
operations.
3. lubricate ways (Page 37).
4. Adjust gibs properly (Page 45).
1. use correct spindle rpM and feed rate (Page 28).
2. sharpen/replace tooling; use correct tooling for
operation.
3. Check for proper spindle rotation for tooling.
4. Check that clamping is tight and sufficient for the
operation; make sure mill vise is tight to table.
5. Adjust gibs properly (Page 45).
1. tighten ball handle hex nut.
2. replace.
