possible Cause
tool slips in collet.
1. Collet is not fully drawn into spindle taper.
2. Wrong size collet.
3. debris on collet or spindle mating surface.
4. Excessive depth of cut.
Breaking tooling.
1. spindle speed/feed rate too fast.
2. tooling getting too hot.

1. Locks are tightened down.
2. Chips have loaded up on the ways.
3. Ways are dry and in need of lubrication.
4. gibs are too tight.
Bad surface finish.
1. Wrong spindle speed/feed rate.
2. dull/damaged tooling; wrong tooling for
operation.
3. Wrong spindle rotation for tooling.
4. Workpiece not securely clamped to table or
mill vise.
5. gibs are too loose.
model g0695 (mfg. since 9/10)
possible solution
1. snug up drawbar.
2. Use correct collet for shank diameter.
3. remove oil and debris from collet and spindle
mating surfaces, then re-install.
4. decrease depth of cut and allow chips to clear.
1. Use correct spindle rpm and feed rate (page 28).
2. Use coolant; reduce spindle rpm/feed rate.
3. decrease depth of cut and allow chips to clear.
1. decrease depth of cut and allow chips to clear.
2. Use sharp tooling.
3. decrease feed rate.
1. tighten all locks on mill that are not associated with
movement for the operation.
2. Check that clamping is tight and sufficient for the
operation; make sure mill vise is tight to table.
3. secure tooling; replace if damaged.
4. Use correct spindle rpm and feed rate (page 28).
5. adjust gibs properly (page 40).
1. Fully loosen locks needed for movement.
2. Frequently clean away chips that load up during
operations.
3. Use one-shot oiler to lubricate ways (page 36).
4. adjust gibs properly (page 40).
1. Use correct spindle rpm and feed rate (page 28).
2. sharpen/replace tooling; use correct tooling for
operation.
3. Check for proper spindle rotation for tooling.
4. Check that clamping is tight and sufficient for the
operation; make sure mill vise is tight to table.
5. adjust gibs properly (page 40).
