Description of the machine
The MT 300 table milling machine is ideal for shaping,
grooving, chamfering, edging and taking out. With the
milling cutter running at 30,000 rpm, clean and precise
results with rapid waste removal are guaranteed. The
cutter height can be adjusted for a wide range of tasks.

Operation
Before milling
Fixing the shaper
(see also fig. 2)
Before starting work, fasten the shaper to a solid
wooden base with suitable screws. Fixing holes are
provided for this purpose in the base of the housing.
The wooden base can then, for example, be fixed to a
bench by means of screw clamps.

Fitting and changing the milling cutter:
Note!
When carrying out any of the work described below, it is
appropriate to raise the adjustable cutter shield (see fig.
1, item 7) to its maximum height. Disconnect by pulling
the plug!
Fitting the milling cutter:
Note!
Ensure that the cutter is suitable for running speeds up
to 30,000 rpm.
1. With one of the C-spanners provided, block the
cutter shaft 1 (see fig. 3a). With the other, unscrew
and remove the clamping nut, 2.
2. Insert a collet of the correct size in the mouth of the
shaft and screw the clamping nut back on but do not
tighten it.
3. Insert the selected milling cutter, 4, (fig. 3b).
4. Tighten the clamping nut, as shown in fig. 3b.
Changing the milling cutter:
1. As shown in fig. 3b, loosen but do not remove the
clamping nut.
2. Remove the milling cutter, 4.
3. Insert a new milling cutter.
4. Re-tighten the clamping nut.
Note!
The diameter of the cutter shaft and the inner diameter
of the collet must match! If this requires that to change
the collet, proceed as described under "Fitting the
milling cutter" above.
Cutter height adjustment
Before milling, the cutter height must be set. To this
end, turn the hand wheel, 1, (fig. 4). Turn clockwise to
raise the cutter, turn anti-clockwise to lower. Note that
one full turn of the hand wheel corresponds to an
adjustment of 1 mm (0,04 inch). With the adjustable
dial, 2, the required cutter height can be set exactly.
Adjusting the fence (figs. 5 and 6)
As shown in fig. 5a, the fence is suitably positioned for
bevelling or grooving the edges of boards.
1. Loosen the knurled screw, 1.
2. Swing the fence, 2, to obtain the desired cutting
depth.
3. Re-tighten the knurled screw.
If grooves are to be cut in the surface of boards or
similar items, the fence can be positioned as shown in
fig. 5b).
