7.0 Set-up and assembly
Open shipping container and check for shipping
damage. Report any damage immediately to your
distributor and shipping agent. Do not discard any
shipping material until Turret Mill is assembled and
running properly.
Compare contents of your container with the
following parts list to make sure all parts are intact.
Missing parts, if any, should be reported to your
distributor. (Check machine first in case parts have
been preinstalled.)
If your mill is supplied with an optional Table
Powerfeed and/or DRO (digital read-out), be sure
to consult the separate instruction materials that
accompany them.

7.2 Site preparation
The mill must be placed on an even surface and
bolted to the floor. Anchor bolts of sufficient size
and length must be fastened to the floor according
to the mill's footprint. See layout diagram in Figure
5-1.
The diagram shows maximum dimensions of the
Mill with table and ram fully extended to maximum
travel. When spotting the machine, leave room not
only for the machine itself, but also clearance for
the operator, for servicing the machine, and for any
unusual size of workpiece that might extend off the
machine's table.
7.3 Lifting the mill
Finish removing the sides of the crate. Remove
any accessory items from machine table and
shipping pallet. Leave mill bolted to pallet until
ready to move to its final location.
The preferred method for lifting is with a hook
through the lifting ring screwed into the tapped hole
atop the ram:
1.
Install provided lifting ring into tapped hole
atop ram. (Note: If your mill came with a top-
mounted DRO, remove DRO from hole to
install lifting ring. Reinstall DRO after machine
has been positioned.)
2.
Check lifting ring on ram to be certain it is
tight.
3.
Check tightness of lock hex nuts on ram (A,
Figure 7-2) to be certain ram is tightly
locked.
4.
Remove fasteners holding mill to pallet.
An alternative method for lifting the mill is with a
sling. See Figure 7-2 for proper position of sling
under ram. Note position of ram and that table has
been moved against column. Tighten ram locking
nuts (A, Figure 7-2) before lifting.
5.
Center an overhead crane or other suitable
overhead lifting device and sling arrangement
over the lifting ring.
IMPORTANT: This machine weighs nearly
2500 pounds. Be certain lifting arrangement is
new or in excellent condition and has a safety
factor that will account for age, difficulties in
lifting, etc.
