Fine Down Feed

The up and down motion of the mill spindle is
controlled just like a drill press. But unlike most
drill presses, the Model G9729 is supplied with
a fine feed handle, indicated by the arrow in
Figure 58.
To activate this feature, rotate the quill lever
while pressing the black knob in the center of
the hub (Figure 58). The knob will engage and
the spindle will no longer move using the quill
lever. Rotating the fine feed handle in a clock-
wise direction will cause the spindle to go down.
To disengage this feature, rotate the fine feed
handle and pull on the knob in the center of the
hub. Rotating the crank handle will always aid in
engaging or disengaging this feature.
