Spindle Break-In
Before placing operationql loads on the spindle,
complete this break-in procedure to fully distribute
lubrication throughout the bearings and ensure
trouble-free performance.
2. Run machine for a minimum of 10 minutes.
3. Repeat Step 2 for each spindle speed, work-
ing to progressively higher speeds.
Note: If the machine is new, we recommend
changing the headstock oil while it is still warm
and any particles from the manufacturing process
are still in suspension (refer to Page 31 in the
Lubrication subsection for detailed instructions).
The spindle break-in is now complete!
Do not leave the mill/drill unattended during
the Spindle Break-In procedure. If your
attention is needed elsewhere during this
procedure, stop the mill/drill and restart the
procedure later from the beginning.
Inspections &
Adjustments
The following list of adjustments were performed
at the factory before the machine was shipped:
• Gib Adjustments ..............................Page 37
• Leadscrew Backlash
Adjustments .....................................Page 37
• Return Spring Tension .................... Page 40
Be aware that machine components can shift
during the shipping process. Pay careful atten-
tion to these adjustments during operation of the
machine. If you find that the adjustments are not
set according to the procedures in this manual or
your personal preferences, re-adjust them.
To perform the spindle break-in procedure:
1. Make sure the spindle is completely stopped,
then set spindle speed to 90 RPM (refer to
Page 26 for detailed instructions).
Failure to complete the spindle break-in
process may lead to premature failure of the
bearings—this will not be covered under
warranty.
