HORIZONTAL MILLING MACHINE
ASSEMBLING:
Reinforce the connection between long and
short machine bed with an intermediate piece U10.
Work with 6000 rpm or the high-speed motor.
Fasten all connection pieces firmly. If steps or fit-
tings should be made it is possible to remove the
spindle from U9 and move the upper part of the
slide by hand (as with the woodturning lathe).
WORKING:
With this machine working in three levels
with three slides is possible. The drilling machine
can be also set up as vertical milling machine
(same set-up as the vertical drilling machine, only
with a fixed milling cutter instead of a drill).
Pay attention to the right milling direction (up
milling)! Maximum infeed of 1 mm (when using the
high-speed motor – accessory 162 420 – then even
more).
ATTENTION:
Milling can be very dangerous, you can be
seriously injured !
AVOID:
Wrong milling direction (always mill against
the turning direction of the milling head), too thick
chips.

HANDBOOK
WHAT TO DO IF ..
The surface of the work piece is not clean:
grind again, less infeed.
Machine does not work exactly:
Check connections, clean and grease slides (they
must be easily movable), check backlash.
MAINTENANCE:
Clean and grease slide (with vaseline).
POSSIBILITIES:
Three-dimensional working (in every angle), spe-
cial wood connections (grooves, prongs,...), architec-
tural model building, toy building, ...; center-hole
boring (with fixed drills).)
Sanding in different angles (see operating instruc-
tion on page 28)
TECHNICAL DATA:
Slide travel: 30 and 50 mm
Collets from 0.5 – 6 mm
Vice capacity: 25 x 35 mm
Materials for Processing:
Hard wood strips (beech-tree, nut-tree), wooden
bars (maximum 20 mm diameter) or plastic and soft
metal. When using a soft wood (spruce) it is not pos-
sible to have a quality surface finish.
