X-Axis Lock Lever
The X-axis lock lever is on the front of the saddle behind the Y-axis hand
wheel. Use this lever to lock the X-axis so it does not move inadvertently.
Pulling out on the lever and simultaneously turning it can change the locked
position of this lever. Pulling out disengages the lever from the locking screw
and allows it to move to a different position. You might need to adjust the
screw in the base of the lever before you can disengage the lever.
Y-Axis Hand Wheel
The Y-axis hand wheel moves the table to the front or back, depending on
which way it is turned. Use this hand wheel to position the table.
The dial on this handle indicates the relative position of the table. The
graduated dial can be repositioned for convenience. Each division of the dial
represents a movement of 0.001”.
On some mini mills there are 62.5 divisions on the dial. On these mills, each
full turn of the hand wheel moves the table 1/16” (0.0625”).
Other mini mills have 50 graduations on the dial. On these mills, each full turn
of the hand wheel moves the table 0.050”.
