Milling Vise - Grizzly WOOD MILL G9959 Instruction Manual

Mounting Milling Vise
The Model G9959/77 can be set up with a milling
machine vise. Grizzly offers several milling
machine vises that can be used with the mill.
Please see our current catalog for order informa-
tion.
Follow these instructions when installing a milling
vise.
1. Make sure the table surface and bottom of
vise are clean and free of dust or chips.
2. Secure the base of the vise to the top of the
cross slide. The T-bolts supplied with the
Wood Mill may be too short for this purpose
and longer replacements might be needed.
3. Loosen the swivel bolts on the milling
machine vise so the base can be swiveled.
4. Mount a drill chuck into the spindle and
secure a dial indicator.
5. Position the vise so the indicator lever con-
tacts the stationary vise jaw or a parallel
mounted into the vise (as in Figure 6) on the
right hand end.
6. Move the apron to the left on the bed ways
and watch the dial.
7. If the needle on the indicator moves along
the larger numbers, pivot the vise one half
the difference, while watching the needle
motion on the dial.
8. Move the apron to the right and note the dif-
ference on the dial from its position on the
right. Again, pivot the vise one half the dif-
ference.
9. Repeat steps 6-8 until the dial remains sta-
tionary when the apron is moved left or right.
10. Tighten the pivot bolts on the base of the

milling vise.

Never use a vise for
milling unless it is rated
for milling machines.
Drill press or bench
vises are not designed
for the rigors of machin-
ing. Vise failure during
a milling operation may
lead to serious personal
injury.
