Loading Tooling
1. DISCONNECT MILL FROM POWER!
2. Clean any debris or surface substances from
inside the spindle taper and the mating
surface of the tooling.
Note: Debris or oil substances can prevent the
tooling and spindle from properly mating.
This condition can cause excessive vibration,
poor cutting results, or tool/workpiece
damage.
3. Place the mill in the low spindle speed range
to keep the spindle from turning in the next
steps.
4. Align the keyway of the tool with the
protruding pin inside the spindle taper, then
firmly push the tool into the spindle to seat
it.
5. With one hand holding the tool in place,
insert the drawbar into the spindle from the
top of the head, then thread it into the tool
(see Figure 44).
6. Tighten the drawbar until it is snug. Avoid
overtightening, as it could make removing
the tool difficult.
