Read and understand this manual before operating machine. Do not clear chips by hand. Use a brush, and never clear chips while the lathe is turning. Always select the right cutter for the job, and make sure cutters are sharp. The right tool decreases strain on the lathe components and avoids unsafe cutting. Always remove the chuck key, and never walk away from the lathe leaving the chuck key installed.

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 onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

Complete the procedure on 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.

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. Each jaw can be removed from the chuck body and reversed for special clamping applications.
Page 17
The three-jaw scroll chuck has removable hardened steel jaws ( 17). The outside of the jaws are used to hold the workpiece from the outer diameter. Numbered from 1–3, the jaws must be used in the matching numbered jaw guides, see DISCONNECT POWER TO THE LATHE/MILL! .
Page 18
Refer to the procedures on to mount the four-jaw chuck. Using the chuck key, open each jaw so the workpiece will lay flat against the chuck face. Support the workpiece. Lock the tailstock and then turn the tailstock quill so the dead center makes contact or is close to the center point of your workpiece (see 20).

The faceplate can be used to turn non-cylindrical parts or for off-center turning by clamping the workpiece to the faceplate. Refer to the procedures on to mount the faceplate. . Support the workpiece. Slide the tailstock to the workpiece. Faceplate installed. Lock the tailstock and then turn the tailstock quill so the dead center makes contact with the center point of your workpiece.

Place the live center in the tailstock. Attach a lathe/mill dog to the bar stock and mount it between centers Turn approximately 0.010" off the diameter. Measure the stock with a micrometer. • If the stock diameter is thicker at the tailstock end, the tailstock needs to be moved toward you half the distance of the amount of the taper (see 28).
Page 23
The dead center is used in the tailstock and lathe spindle to support workpieces. When used in the tailstock, make sure to keep the MT#3 dead center tip and workpiece lubricated to prevent tip galling. This lathe/mill is also supplied with an MT#5 dead center that fits into the lathe spindle taper.

The compound slide is used to cut tapers on parts or to set the proper infeed angle when threading. It may also be used to cut specific lengths longitudinally, when set parallel to the spindle axis. Scale Hex Nut Loosen one hex nut on each side of the compound slide (see 34), and rotate the compound slide to the desired angular position shown on the scale.
