to test run the machine: Make sure you understand the safety instruc- tions at the beginning of the manual and that the machine is setup properly. Make sure all tools and objects used during setup are cleared away from the machine. Lubricate the mill, as explained in Lubrication on Page 38.
Page 24
10. Verify that the machine is operating cor- rectly. —When operating correctly, the machine runs smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. — investigate and correct strange or unusual noises or vibrations before operating the machine further. always stop the machine and disconnect it from power before inves- tigating or correcting potential problems.
16. start spindle rotation. 17. test the variable speed dial by turning the speed all the way up for a few seconds, then turning it all the way down. 18. point the coolant nozzle onto the table, turn the coolant pump switch to "l" or ON, then check for proper operation of the coolant sys- tem.
OMMEND that you read books, trade maga- zines, or get formal training before begin- ning any projects. Regardless of the con- tent in this section, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training. -24-...
E. Spindle Speed Readout: displays the spin- dle speed in rpM's—the top numbers are for the high speed range, and the bottom num- bers are for the low speed range. Coolant Pump Switch: turns the coolant pump on/oFF. G. Vertical Power feed Down button: Lowers the knee.

Longitudinal Power feed System your mill is equipped with a longitudinal power feed and limit switch for controlled X-axis table movement. refer to figure 27 and the descrip- tions below to understand the functions of these devices. figure 27. Longitudinal power feed system. A.
rotate the speed dial all the way to the left, then use the direction lever to select the direction of table travel. Flip the on/oFF switch up to turn the power feed ON. adjust the speed dial to move the table at the correct speed for your operation.
Rotating the Head disConneCt the MiLL FroM poWer! Loosen the four rotation locking bolts shown in figure 32. Locking Bolts figure 32. head rotation bolts. With one hand helping to support the weight of the head, slowly turn the rotation bolt. Note: Turn the rotation bolt clockwise to move the head to the right and counterclock- wise to move it to the left.
Rotating the Ram disConneCt the MiLL FroM poWer! Loosen the four rotation locking bolts on top of the column shown in figure 34. Locking Bolts figure 34. ram rotation locking bolts. Manually rotate the ram around the column to the desired position. Note: Take care not to entangle or stretch the electrical cabling as you move the ram and head.

Measure the diameter of your cutting tool in inches. Use the following formula to calculate the required rpM for your operation: Selecting Spindle Speed Range Make sure the spindle motor is turned OFF, and the spindle is stopped. select the range in the chart below that includes the spindle speed that you have cal- culated for your workpiece.
Downfeed Controls the quill downfeed movement is controlled by three mechanisms: 1) the coarse downfeed handle, 2) the fine downfeed handwheel, and 3) the quill auto-downfeed system. Coarse Downfeed Handle turn the spindle motor OFF and wait for the spindle to stop. pull the quill auto-downfeed selector knob out and rotate it clockwise to the disengage (forward) position (see figure 38).

fine & Auto-Downfeed Components there are a number of devices that are used for fine downfeed and quill auto-downfeed control. Use figure 40 and the descriptions below to understand the functions of these devices. figure 40. Fine downfeed and quill auto- downfeed system components.
push or pull the auto-downfeed direction pin to select the desired direction of quill move- ment. NOTICE When the spindle speed range is changed, the rotation direction of the spindle will reverse and so will the direction of the quill when in auto-downfeed mode.
Loading/unloading tooling your mill is equipped with a drawbar that includes one spacer for tool attach- ment flexibility (see figure 42). spacer figure 42. drawbar and spacer. tools Needed Wrench 19mm ... 1 Loading tooling disConneCt the MiLL FroM poWer!

Motor & Electrical (continued) symptom possible Cause Machine stalls or is 11. Contactor not getting energized or has poor overloaded. contacts. 12. Motor has overheated. 13. spindle rotation switch at fault. 14. Motor is at fault. 15. Frequency drive at fault. Machine 1.
Operation symptom 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.
Adjusting Gibs gibs control the accuracy of table and ram move- ments along the ways. tight gibs make the move- ments more accurate, but harder to move. Loose gibs make the movements sloppy, but easier to move. the goal of gib adjustment is to remove unnecessary sloppiness without causing the ways to bind.
Adjusting backlash Leadscrew backlash is the amount of motion the leadscrew rotates before the device begins to move. Leadscrews always have a certain amount of backlash that will increase with wear. generally, 0.005"–0.010" of backlash is acceptable. tools Needed t-handle hex Wrench 5mm ... 1 hex Wrench 8mm ...

Use the t-handle 5mm hex wrench to loosen the two cap screws shown in figure 67. adjustment plate Cap screws figure 67. Cross feed leadscrew backlash adjustment plate and cap screws. rotate the adjustment plate in small incre- ments, then test the backlash. Note: To test the backlash, re-install the key and ball handle onto the leadscrew.
