Headstock Travel

(z-Axis and Rotation)
Headstock height is adjustable in the vertical Z-axis to
accept large workpieces. Your mill has a dovetailed slide
that allows you to reposition the headstock and change
tooling without losing your alignment with a hole or mill-
ing path.
To raise or lower the headstock, do these steps:
1. Unlock the headstock slide lock lever shown in
Figure 14.
2. Turn the Z-axis handwheel shown in Figure 15 to
raise or lower the headstock, then lock the head-
stock slide lock lever.
Note: Milling with the quill fully extended can cause
tool chatter. For maximum spindle rigidity when
milling, keep the spindle retracted completely with
the quill lock lever locked.
