G1006/G1007 Mill/Drill
Power feed
The Model G1007 features a 110V auto-feed
mechanism which allows hands-free, side-to-side
passes while milling. Variable-speed feed control
makes flat surface milling more consistent.
To install the power feed:
1. Attach the 2
1
/4" diameter drive gear to the
left end of the longitudinal table leadscrew.
The setscrew for securing the drive gear
requires a 2.5mm Allen
®
wrench. The gear
couplers on the drive gear and table lead-
screw will lock together.
2. Set the clamping bracket assembly on the
left end of the table. Mark the points on the
table’s trough where the mounting bolts
contact the table. Remove the clamping
bracket assembly and spot drill to give the
mounting bolts a small lip to “bite” without
slipping on the rough cast surface. Set the
clamping bracket assembly back on the
end of the table and tighten down the
mounting bolts.
3. Use a 5mm Allen
®
wrench to attach the
power feed body to the clamping bracket
assembly. Cap screws are provided.
Before tightening completely, position the
power feed body so the gears mesh per-
fectly. Tighten the cap screws when the
gears are in mesh.
4. Plug the rapid switch cord into the recepta-
cle provided on the bottom of the power
feed body.
5. Screw the knob onto the direction handle.
6. Place the clear plastic gear cover to the
bottom of the power feed to protect the
gears.
7. Insert the stops into the slot on the front
edge of the table. Tighten them with a 5mm
Allen
®
wrench.
8. Remove the center travel stop at the front
of the table. Save the mounting bolts.
9. Secure the switch bracket to the front of the
Mill/Drill. Use the mounting bolts saved in
step 8.
10. Mount the switch to the switch bracket
using the cap screws provided. Tighten
them with a 6mm Allen
®
wrench. When the
switch is depressed, the power feed auto-
matically turns off and table movement
stops.
NOTICE
Before using the G1007, place the power
feeder cord and the control cord for the
microswitch clear of any movements which
could pinch or crush them. Before using
the power feed, mark the maximum dis-
tance the table can move before the power
feed comes in contact with the machine’s
base. Use that mark as a reference each
time you re-adjust your table stops. This is
the best way to avoid damaging the power
feed and/or causing an unsafe condition.
NOTICE
Use care when aligning the table lead-
screw gears with the gearing on the power
feed. The fit is correct when you can just
slightly wiggle one gear without engaging
the other. If there is too much space
between the gears, teeth can be stripped
under heavy loads. If the teeth mesh too
tightly, the supporting bearings in the
power feeder will wear out quickly.
