Machining Tips
1. For precision machined lengths leave motor off. Ro-
tate feed knob until tool touches end of work. Note
location on index gauge. Retract feed knob. Add
required measurement to observed number on feed
knob. With power on, monitor index gauge. Length
accuracy: to ± .002".
2. Be careful of cutting edge of tool bit. Edge is sharp
and can be damaged.
3. Check tool bit often. If work edge develops burr,
tool bit may be worn.
4. Keep consistent pressure on feed knob.
5. To break off long chips, retract feed knob for a sec-
ond and return to feeding.
6. "Chatter" can be controlled by changing feed rate
of tool. Increasing feed and reducing speed will solve
this problem.
