5.3 Unpacking and cleanup
1. Inspect contents for shipping damage. Report
damage, if any, to your distributor. Do not
discard shipping materials until Mill-Drill is
installed and running properly.
2. Compare contents of shipping carton with the
contents list in this manual. Report shortages, if
any, to your distributor. Note: Check machine
first in case some parts are pre-installed.
3. Remove rust protectant from exposed surfaces
with a clean rag and cleaner/degreaser or
kerosene. Avoid getting solvents on rubber or
plastic parts.
4. Apply a light coat of oil to exposed metal
surfaces to inhibit rust.
5.4 Location
Machine is heavy; use
appropriate lifting device and exercise caution
when moving to final location. Failure to comply
may cause serious injury.
1. The location for the mill-drill should be dry, with
good overhead lighting and room enough for
head to rotate 360° around column, for
maximum table travel, loading and offloading of
stock, and general maintenance.
2. Before bolting mill-drill to a bench or stand, the
unit must be level: Place a level on table in both
directions. If table is not level, shim under the
low corner(s) until level. Tighten fastening bolts.
(See Figure 4-1 for mounting hole spacing.)
3. Check for level again. Adjust as necessary until
mill-drill is level after fastening hardware has
been tightened.
NOTE: An optional stand is available from JET, see
sect. 11.0.
5.5 Assembly
See Figure 5-1 to identify parts.
1. Screw three downfeed handles (F) into hub and
tighten. Flat spot on rod accommodates an
open or adjustable wrench. Note: Handle shafts
are already installed into hub on powerfeed
models.
2. Slide crank (E) onto shaft of column (see Figure
7-2) and tighten set screw. Make sure set screw
seats on flat part of shaft.
3. Thread handle (D) into crank and tighten nut.
