Z-Axis Lock Lever
The Z-axis lock lever is on the right side of the head assembly behind the Z-axis
coarse feed hub. Use this lever to lock the Z-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 to make this adjustment.
Adjustments
Keeping your mini mill in adjustment is an on-going process. You should check
all the following adjustments when you set up your mill and then periodically
as you use your mill.
X-Axis Gib
A gib is a strip of metal placed between the bearing surface of two machine
parts to ensure a precision fit and provide adjustment for wear. The mini mill
has gibs in several places, including between the saddle and the table.
The X-axis gib provides adjustment for the mating dovetails on the saddle and
the table that provide the X-axis (crosswise) motion.
To adjust the X-axis gib:
1. Loosen the four lock nuts on the front of the saddle.
2. Slightly loosen all four setscrews on the front of the saddle.
3. Snug each setscrew equally. This will lock the table in position.
