G9729 Combination Lathe/Mill
-45-
Fine Down Feed
Quill Lock Lever
The up and down motion of the mill spindle is
controlled just like a drill press. But unlike most
drill presses, the Model G9729 is supplied with
a fine feed handle, indicated by the arrow in
Figure 58.
To
activate this feature, rotate the quill lever
while
pressing the black knob in the center of
the hub (Figure 58). The knob will engage and
the
spindle will no longer move using the quill
lever. Rotating the fine feed handle in a clock-
wise
direction will cause the spindle to go down.
To disengage this feature, rotate the fine feed
handle
and pull on the knob in the center of the
hub. Rotating the crank handle will always aid in
engaging or disengaging this feature.

The height of the spindle can be locked with the
quill lock lever. Set
the desired height of the spin-
dle, and lock the spindle in place (Figure 57).
