-11- G1004/1008 Vertical Milling Machine
Assembly of the G1004/G1008 is straightforward.
We have organized the assembly process into
steps. Please follow them in sequence.
ORDER OF ASSEMBLY
A. Leveling
B. Mounting Handles
C. Install Collet or Arbor
D. Fly Cutter
E. Knee Hand Crank
Tools Required: A complete set of metric Allen
®
wrenches will be necessary for most of the
assembly and adjustments. A rubber mallet and a
set of open ended, metric wrenches will also be
needed.
Before attempting to use your mill, make sure that
it is sitting firmly in place and that the work table
is level. Should you find that the machine rocks or
is not level, use mild steel shim stock or leveling
pads, such as those sold by Grizzly Industrial
(G7159).
Disconnect the power before changing col-
lets or arbors on the G1004/G1008. Serious
personal injury may occur.
SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY
Collet or Arbor
Installation
Three handles are supplied with the
G1004/G1008. They are black and have a slotted
head screw through them. On the threaded por-
tion is a nut. Tighten the nut so that the black han-
dle does not spin. Screw the handles into the
handwheels until they are tight. Loosen them one
full turn. While maintaining the orientation of the
slotted screw, turn the nut so that it now tightens
against the handwheel.

The Models G1004/08 feature an R-8 spindle
which accepts many industrial collets and arbors.
To install a collet or an arbor:
1. Release the latches on the head lid and
open it.
2. Determine the location of the pin inside the
spindle.
3. Align the keyway of the collet to the side
where you found the pin and insert the col-
let or cutting tool’s arbor up into the spindle
housing. Rotate the collet slightly to line up
the keyway with the pin in the spindle bore.
