To remove the collet:
1. DISCONNECT THE MILL/DRILL FROM
POWER!
2. Tighten the headstock lock.
NOTICE
DO NOT completely unscrew the drawbar
before striking it with the hammer. You will
damage the threads on the drawbar and the
arbor.
3. Protect the table surface with a piece of card-
board or hold the cutter/tool with a shop towel
to prevent it from falling out of the collet.
4. Using the drawbar hex wrench, loosen the
drawbar but DO NOT remove it.
5. Using the brass hammer, tap the drawbar to
unseat the taper.
6. Unscrew the rest of the drawbar by hand and
remove the collet.
Note: When not in use, always remove
collets and cutting tools from the spindle
taper. Oxidation may cause the collet to seize
and make it hard to remove later.
LACERATION HAZARD!
Leading edges of end mills
and other cutting tools can
be very sharp. Protect your
hands with gloves or a
shop towel when handling.
2. Turn the Z-axis handwheel shown in Figure
15 to raise or lower the headstock, then lock
the headstock slide lock lever.
Note: For maximum spindle rigidity when
milling, keep the spindle retracted into the
headstock as far as possible with the quill
lock lever locked and with the fine feed lock
knob tightened.
Headstock height is adjustable in the vertical Z-
axis to accept large workpieces. For unique mill-
ing operations, the headstock can be tilted right
or left between 0° and 90°. Your mill/drill has a
dovetailed slide that allows you to reposition the
headstock and change tooling without losing your
alignment with a hole or milling path.
To raise or lower the headstock:
1. Unlock the headstock slide lock lever shown
in Figure 14.
