M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Cleaning Machine The ways and other unpainted parts of your lathe/mill are coated with a waxy grease that protects them from corrosion during shipment. Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-based solvents such as brake parts cleaner, lac- quer thinner, or acetone—if you happen to splash some...
10. Recheck the ways to make sure the ways are still level, re-shim as required. SHOP FOX ® The MODEL M1109 weighs approximate- ly 1200 lbs. You will need power lifting equipment and assistance to remove this machine from the pallet and posi- tion it.
M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Test Run and Break-In The purpose of the test run is to make sure the lathe/ mill and safety features operate correctly before pro- ceeding with additional setup. To begin the test run procedure, do these steps: 1.
Page 13 before using this lathe/mill for any cutting or threading operations; otherwise, gear box damage will occur. The Model M1109 will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly.
M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Chuck and Faceplate Mounting The three-jaw scroll chuck has hardened steel jaws that self-center the workpiece within 0.002"-0.003". An extra set of jaws is included for machining larger workpieces. The four-jaw chuck also has hardened steel jaws but are adjusted independently to hold an off-center workpiece.
• If installed correctly, all three jaws will converge together at the center of the chuck. • If the jaws do not come together, repeat this pro- cedure until they do. M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Figure 17. Chuck and jaw selection. Jaw Guide #1 Figure 18. Jaw guide number.
M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Using the Four-Jaw Chuck To install the four-jaw chuck, do these steps: Refer to the Three-Jaw Direct Mount Scroll Chuck pro- cedures on Page 15 to mount the four-jaw chuck. To load a workpiece in the four-jaw chuck, do these steps: 1.
Make sure your clamping application will not fail! 6. Use a lower RPM when machining heavy eccentric workpieces. M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Figure 22. Faceplate installed. Use a minimum of three independent clamping devices when turning eccentric workpieces. Failure to provide adequate clamping will cause workpiece to eject.
M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Using the Tailstock The tailstock (Figure 23) can be used to support workpieces with the use of a live or dead center. Using an MT#3 drill chuck and a drill bit, the lathe can drill or bore holes in the center of a part. The tailstock can also be offset for cutting shallow tapers.
Keep in mind that the point will have to be refinished whenever it is removed and returned to the chuck. Continued on next page M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Scale Figure . Right offset adjustment. Left Offset Adjustments Figure 26.

M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill 5. Place the live center in the tailstock. 6. Attach a lathe/mill dog to the bar stock and mount it between centers. 7. Turn approximately 0.010" off the diameter. 8. Measure the stock with a micrometer. • If the stock diameter is thicker at the tailstock...
Note: When using the dead center in the spindle, use a lathe dog so that your part will rotate with the spindle and not spin on the dead center tip. M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Figure 30. Inserting dead center. Figure 31. Faceplate and dead center setup.
M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Using the Steady Rest The steady rest serves as a support for long shafts. The steady rest can be placed anywhere along the length of the ways. To use the steady rest, do these steps: Carefully place the steady rest on the lathe bedways.
This is accomplished by rotating the top handle counterclockwise and then rotating the tool post to the desired position. Rotate the top handle clockwise to lock the tool into position. M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Scale Hex Nut Figure 34. Compound slide, scale, and handwheel.
M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Using Manual Feed You can manually move the cutting tool around the lathe/ mill with the three handwheels shown in Figure 36. Compound Slide Handwheel Longitudinal Handwheel Cross Feed The longitudinal handwheel moves the carriage left or Handwheel right along the bed.
• The RPM Lever selects the RPM within that range. Note: You may need to rotate the chuck by hand to get the gears to engage. M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Cutting Speeds for High Speed Steel (HSS) Cutting Tools Workpiece Material Aluminum &...
M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Setting Power Feed Rate The carriage has longitudinal and cross slide power feed capabilities. All directions reverse when spindle rotation is reversed. NOTICE Feed rate is based on spindle RPM. High feed rates combined with high spindle speeds result in a rapidly moving carriage or cross slide.
8. Loosen the apron lock bolt and use the feed lever (Figure 41). 9. While threading, keep your hand on the half-nut lever, ready to disengage the apron to avoid any potential for an apron/chuck crash. M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Inch Threading Figure 42. Using the change gear chart. Leadscrew Lever Figure 43.
5. Prepair to catch the arbor, and unscrew the drawbar until the arbor drops into your hand. M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Figure 45. Aligning drawbar with chuck arbor. Drawbar Figure 46.
M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Headstock Positioning The mill headstock head can be raised and lowered verti- cally, or rotated left or right up to 90º degrees to position the cutting tool next to the workpiece. To position the spindle head vertically, do these steps: 1.
Table Travel The mill table of the Model M1109 can be moved in two axes—cross feed and longitudinal feed. Each of these axes are controlled by graduated handwheels to accurately position the workpiece in relation to the tool. To set the power feed for milling, refer to Setting Power Feed Rate on Page 27.
M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill Setting RPM When using the milling machine, determine the RPM needed to cut your workpiece, and adjust the gear change levers to achieve the closest RPM. NOTICE Never shift gears while lathe or mill is running; other- wise, the gear teeth will be chipped or broken.
M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill For daily lubrication, use a manual oil gun with a general 10W machine oil to lubricate the following 15 ball oiler fit- tings. See Figure 56 for some typical locations. Wipe off all oil ball fittings with a rag, and then oil the following locations: •...
