Page 20 The Model M1018 will perform many types of lathe opera- tions that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly. The instructions in this section are written with the under- standing that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine.
Page 21: Spindle Speeds
Cutting Speeds for High Speed Steel (HSS) Cutting Tools* Workpiece Material Cutting Speed (SFM) Use the table below to determine the cutting speed Aluminum & Alloys required for the material of your workpiece. Brass & Bronze Copper Measure the diameter of your workpiece in inches and subtract the depth of the cut that will be taken Cast Iron, soft on the initial pass.
Page 22 The Model M1018 features seven speeds. Each speed is set with a combination of V-belt positions on the pulleys, as illustrated in Open the main pulley access door. Loosen the tensioning nut located just above the motor, as shown in Figure .
Page 23 The feed rate lever, shown in , controls inter- nal gears that change the feed rate by a factor of two. Turning the lever to position “I” will cause the lead screw to turn at twice the rate as when it is in position “II.” When this lever is straight up, the gearing is in neutral and the power feed is not available.
Page 24 Shown in , this hand crank allows you to manu- Longitudinal ally move the carriage along the lead screw in the same Hand Crank manner as the power feed. The graduated dial on the hand crank shaft moves inde- pendently from the hand crank and can be "zeroed" when the cutting tool touches the workpiece, allowing you to keep track of the location and movement of the tool.
Page 25 Quill Lock The tailstock handwheel, shown in , moves the Lever quill in or out of the tailstock, and can be used with a graduated dial on the handwheel shaft. The quill lock lever, shown in , locks the Tailstock tailstock quill in position.
Page 26 Lay a chuck cradle or protective layer of plywood over the bedways to protect the precision ground surfaces from damage and to prevent your fingers from being pinched (see Using the stubby 6mm hex wrench, remove two of the three cap screws from the spindle nose, as shown in While supporting the chuck with one hand, remove the last screw.
Page 27: Jaw Scroll Chuck
With the chuck key, open the jaws so the workpiece lays flat against the chuck face and jaw step, or fits in the through hole. For jaw and work holding options, see Using the chuck key, turn each jaw until it makes contact with the workpiece.
Page 28 Identify the jaw position, by the number stamped on the side (see Hand Stamped Reference The chuck has guide numbers inside the jaw guides that correspond to the jaw numbers (see Jaw Number ). If it does not, locate the jaw number on the jaw and mark the chuck to identify the position of that jaw (see Turning the chuck key counterclockwise, back the...
Page 29 #3. Lead thread coming in to view for jaw #2. The Model M1018 includes a 5" chuck plate for mounting a standard 5" 4-jaw chuck. It will be necessary to drill new mounting holes or resur- Lead Thread face and shoulder the chuck plate, so that the chuck may be mounted accurately and safely.
Page 30: Faceplate
The faceplate installs on the spindle nose in the same manner as the 3-jaw chuck. . Support the workpiece. Lock the tailstock and turn the tailstock quill so the dead center makes contact with the center point of your workpiece. Lock the tailstock and apply sufficient pressure to hold the workpiece in place.
Page 31: Dead Center
The tailstock quill and included dead center have MT#3 tapers. The dead center supports stock that is too long to be sup- ported by the chuck alone. Stock protruding more than ⁄ times its diameter should be supported by a dead or live center.
Page 32: Turret Tool Post
A turret tool post is included with the Model M1018. This tool post will hold up to four ⁄ " tools, as shown in Lock Lever Boring Bar Having multiple tools installed in the tool post saves time by allowing you to simply loosen the lock lever and rotate to the next tool.
Page 33: Drill Chuck
The Model M1018 mill spindle features an MT#3 spindle taper, which allows the drill chuck arbor to be inter- changeable with the tailstock taper. The drill chuck and arbor are factory installed in the mill spindle, but can be installed in the tailstock for drilling operations on the lathe.
Page 34: Gear Charts
The Model M1018 can be geared for a variety of different feed rates, so gear charts are placed on the machine to show how to set up the gear combinations for each type of carriage feed application. • Each gear combination provides two speed options by moving the feed rate lever to either "I"...
Page 35 The Model M1018 is factory set for the first column of speeds shown in the turning chart, as shown in These instructions will walk you through an example gear change to 40 TPI so that you can gain a better under- standing of the process.
Page 36 The tailstock on the Model M1018 is aligned with the headstock at the factory. However, we recommend that you take the time to ensure that the tailstock is aligned to your own desired tolerances. Center drill a 6'' long piece of round cold rolled stock on both ends.
Page 37 NOTICE Measure the workpiece with a micrometer. • If the stock is wider at the tailstock end, the tailstock needs to be moved toward the front of the machine half the amount of the taper (see • If the stock is thinner at the tailstock end, the Adjusting for headstock end tailstock needs to be moved toward the back of taper.
Page 38 The Model M1018 will perform many types of mill opera- tions that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly. The instructions in this section are written with the under- standing that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine.
Page 39 Before changing speeds, you must first determine the Cutting Speeds for High Speed Steel best spindle speed to use with the material and diam- (HSS) Cutting Tools* eter of your cutting tool. Using this determined speed, Workpiece Material Cutting Speed (SFM) you can then reference the spindle speed chart on the Aluminum &...
