M1036 Micro Mill Machine Placement • Workbench Load: Bolt your machine to a sturdy workbench that will not tip. Some workbenches may require additional reinforcement to support both the machine and the workpiece. • Working Clearances: Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through the machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your Micro Mill.
M1036 Micro Mill Mounting to Workbench Mounting the mill to the workbench provides maximum rigidity and prevents the mill from tipping. Mounting the mill should be done before installing the headstock for the best access to the mounting holes. When choosing a location for the mill, make sure the cross feed and the longitudinal handwheels extend out beyond the edge of the table surface. This will allow unrestricted handwheel operation. SET UP To mount the mill to the workbench, do these steps: 1.
M1036 Micro Mill Compound Slide Table Installation of the compound slide table is not necessary when using the mill as a drill. The compound slide table can be moved in the X and Y axis for use with milling cutters. To install the compound slide table, do these steps: Thread the handwheel handles into the handwheels. 2. Remove the fence from the base if installed. 3. Slide the T-bolts into the T-slots and place the compound slide table over the T-bolts, as shown in Figure 8. 4.
M1036 Micro Mill Test Run and Spindle Break-in Complete this process once you have familiarized yourself with all instructions in this manual and you have made sure the machine is completely lubricated as described in Lubrication on Page 22. It is essential to closely follow the proper break-in procedures to ensure trouble free performance. SET UP To begin the test run and spindle break-in procedure, do these steps: 1. Make sure there are no obstructions around or underneath the spindle. 2.
M1036 Micro Mill OPERATIONS General The Model M1036 will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly. The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine.
M1036 Micro Mill Graduated Dials Each mark on the handwheel graduated dials (Figure 12) represents 0.001" of movement. One full rotation of the handwheel is equal to 0.050". The graduated dials can be "zeroed" by grasping the knurled section and rotating the graduated dial to "0". Graduated Dial Example: To drill a series of holes with 1⁄2" centers (0.500"), drill the first hole, zero the graduated dial, move the table 0.
M1036 Micro Mill Downfeed Controls Quill Feed Control The quill feed is controlled by the downfeed lever shown in Figure 14. The handle allows the mill to operate as a drill. Downfeed Lever To use the downfeed lever, do this step: 1. Pull the quill downfeed lever (Figure 14) forward to feed the quill down towards the workpiece. The quill feed handle is spring loaded to assist in returning the handle to the upmost vertical position.
M1036 Micro Mill Depth Stop The depth stop allows the operator to make numerous holes that all are the same depth or to hold the mill at a specified depth. To set the depth stop, do these steps: 1. Use the micro downfeed knob to set the desired depth. 2. To set the quill to repeat the same depth, rotate the graduated dial (Figure 17) past the O mark until it stops, then tighten the set screw. 3.
M1036 Micro Mill Drill Chuck The drill chuck will only accept bits with a maximum of 1 ⁄4" shank. When installing a bit in the drill chuck, make sure it is tight enough that it will not come loose during operation. To install a drill bit, do these steps: 1. UNPLUG THE MICRO MILL! 2. Open the drill chuck wide enough to accept the shank of the bit. 3. Insert the bit as far as possible into the chuck WITHOUT allowing the chuck jaws to touch the cutting edges, and hand tighten the chuck. Figure 20.
M1036 Micro Mill Collets The collet chuck (an optional accessory) for the micro mill offers increased precision and rigidity compared to the drill chuck. Each collet will only fit tooling with a specific shaft diameter. This collet set includes 1⁄4", 3⁄16", 5 ⁄32", 5⁄64", 3⁄64" collets. To install the collet chuck, do these steps: 1. UNPLUG THE MICRO MILL! 2. Remove the drill chuck and clean the arbor and collet chuck tapers with denatured alcohol. 3. Push the collet chuck onto the arbor. 4.
M1036 Micro Mill MAINTENANCE General Regular periodic maintenance on your SHOP FOX® Model M1036 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary: • • • • • • • Loose chucks and arbors. Loose vises or clamps. Loose mounting bolts. Worn switch. Worn or damaged cords and plugs. Damaged round belt. Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.
M1036 Micro Mill Lubrication Regular lubrication will ensure your mill performs at its highest potential. Place two to three drops of ISO 68 or SAE 20W non-detergent oil or similar lubricant directly on the following areas each time you use your mill (see Figure 26): • • Cross slide and saddle ways Quill shaft Apply a light weight lithium based grease directly to these points once a month or more frequently as needed: • • Longitudinal leadscrew (Figure 27) Crossfeed leadscrew (Figure 28) Figure 26.
