About These Machines  
Foreword  
Capabilities  
"Most boys should learn a trade in order that  
they may become skilled workmen. The trained  
workman is always in demand...When a boy has  
learned a trade, becomes a skilled mechanic,  
he has excellent equipment with which to begin  
life's battle, but he need not stop there. George  
Westinghouse, the Wright Brothers, Henry Ford,  
and the Studebaker Brothers were mechanics,  
and it was their mechanical training that  
made their success possible." —Machine Shop  
Equipment, 2nd Ed., 1920, by the O'Brien  
Brothers, founders of South Bend Lathe.  
These Milling Machines are built for daily,  
non-stop use in a busy industrial setting, tool  
room, or school shop. They are easy to set-up,  
truly accurate, and built to give you long years  
of service when properly cared for. These milling  
machines support workpieces up to 750 lbs. and  
are perfect for face milling, end milling, planing,  
slot or keyway cutting, dovetailing, routing,  
drilling, reaming, and boring to name a few. With  
the movable ram and tilting head, all these tasks  
can be performed on horizontal, vertical, and  
angled surfaces. When equipped with additional  
accessories, such as a rotary table or dividing  
head, these milling machines can do even more.  
The first South Bend milling machine debuted in  
the 1950's. During that time, the milling machine  
and the already well-established South Bend  
lathes created the foundation of many tool rooms  
and school shops across America and beyond her  
borders. Many young men in those days came  
of age on South Bend equipment, becoming  
world-class machinists, mechanical engineers,  
inventors, and manufacturing visionaries.  
Features  
These milling machines feature 3-axis table  
movement with built-in longitudinal power feed.  
They are constructed with high-grade Meehanite  
castings, and the saddle and knee ways are  
Turcite coated and built with wide dovetails for  
maximum support and accuracy through the full  
range of movement.  
A lot has changed in the world since then. Those  
same school shops have mostly been replaced  
by computer labs. The technology in the rotary  
dial phone, television set, mechanical calculator,  
computer, and camera of that decade could  
barely fit into one large room together—now  
they fit into a tiny box that is no bigger than a  
box of breath mints. And the average production  
machinist spends more time at a computer than  
at a machine. Technology has been much refined  
and the world operates on a much faster pace.  
To ensure quality work results, we have  
equipped these mills with NSK or NTN  
spindle bearings that are rated to P4 (ABEC-  
7) tolerances. The spindle tapers are R8 and  
the spindles have powered down feed with fine,  
medium, and coarse feed controls.  
The headstocks are mounted on a wide-dovetail  
movable ram with 13" of travel on the column  
and 360° rotating capability. The headstocks  
themselves can swivel 90° left/right or 45°  
forward/back so they can be positioned for nearly  
any setup needed.  
But some things haven't changed. The same  
human ingenuity and passion that created the  
best mechanical technology of today still exists  
within us. The core machines of the modern shop,  
like this South Bend milling machine, are still  
fundamentally important.  
To reduce the time spent doing daily lubrication,  
we have outfitted these milling machines with a  
one-shot lubrication system that is as quick and  
easy as one pump of a lever.  
When you think about it, the greatest mechanical  
technology of the future will be what we create  
today. As the owner of a South Bend milling  
machine, you are now part of a great legacy.  
What will you create with yours?  
And finally, each machine is designed to accept  
a circulating coolant system with room for  
the pump and reservoir in the column base.  
Additional features include a movable work light,  
and Allen Bradley electrical controls.

5. Entanglement: Loose clothing, gloves,  
neckties, jewelry or long hair may  
get caught in moving parts, causing  
entanglement, amputation, crushing,  
or strangulation. Reduce this risk by  
removing/securing these items so they  
cannot contact moving parts.  
11. Chuck Keys or Adjusting Tools: Tools used  
to adjust spindles, chucks, or any moving/  
rotating parts will become dangerous  
projectiles if left in place when the machine  
is started. Reduce this risk by developing  
the habit of always removing these tools  
immediately after using them.  
12. Work Area: Clutter and dark shadows  
increase the risks of accidental injury.  
Only operate this item in a clean, non-  
glaring, and well-lighted work area.  
6. Mental Alertness: Operating this item  
with reduced mental alertness increases  
the risk of accidental injury. Do not let a  
temporary influence or distraction lead to a  
permanent disability! Never operate when  
under the influence of drugs/alcohol, when  
tired, or otherwise distracted.  
13. Properly Functioning Equipment: Poorly  
maintained, damaged, or malfunctioning  
equipment has higher risks of causing  
serious personal injury compared to  
those that are properly maintained.

fire or explosion. Only operate this item in  
a dry location that is free from flammable  
materials.  
8. Electrical Connection: With electically  
powered equipment, improper connections  
to the power source may result in  
14. Unattended Operation: Electrically  
powered equipment that is left unattended  
while running cannot be controlled and is  
dangerous to bystanders. Always turn the  
power OFF before walking away.  
electrocution or fire. Always adhere to all  
electrical requirements and applicable  
codes when connecting to the power source.  
Have all work inspected by a qualified  
electrician to minimize risk.  
15. Health Hazards: Certain cutting fluids  
and lubricants, or dust/smoke created  
when cutting, may contain chemicals  
known to the State of California to cause  
cancer, respiratory problems, birth defects,  
or other reproductive harm. Minimize  
exposure to these chemicals by wearing  
approved personal protective equipment  
and operating in a well ventilated area.  
9. Disconnect Power: Adjusting or servicing  
electrically powered equipment while it  
is connected to the power source greatly  
increases the risk of injury from accidental  
startup. Always disconnect power  
BEFORE any service or adjustments,  
including changing blades or other tooling.  
16. Difficult Operations: Attempting  
difficult operations with which you are  
unfamiliar increases the risk of injury.  
If you experience difficulties performing  
the intended operation, STOP! Seek an  
alternative method to accomplish the  
same task, ask a qualified expert how the  
operation should be performed, or contact  
our Technical Support for assistance.  
10. Secure Workpiece/Tooling: Loose  
workpieces, cutting tools, or rotating  
spindles can become dangerous projectiles  
if not secured or if they hit another object  
during operation. Reduce the risk of this  
hazard by verifying that all fastening  
devices are properly secured and items  
attached to spindles have enough clearance  
to safely rotate.

Additional Milling Machine Safety  
1. Understanding Controls: The mill is a  
complex machine that presents severe  
cutting or amputation hazards if used  
incorrectly. Make sure you understand the  
use and operation of all controls before you  
begin milling.  
6. Stopping Spindle: To reduce the risk of hand  
injuries or entanglement hazards, DO NOT  
attempt to stop the spindle with your hand  
or a tool. Allow the spindle to stop on its own  
or use the spindle brake.  
7. Chip Cleanup: Chips from the operation are  
sharp and hot, which can cause burns or  
cuts. Using compressed air to clear chips  
could cause them to fly into your eyes, and  
may drive them deep into the working parts  
of the machine. Use a brush or vacuum  
to clear away chips and debris from the  
machine or workpiece and NEVER clear  
chips while the spindle is turning.  
2. Safety Accessories: Flying chips or debris  
from the cutting operation can cause eye  
injury or blindness. Always use a chip guard  
in addition to your safety glasses or use a  
face shield when milling.  
3. Work Holding: Milling a workpiece that is  
not properly clamped to the table could cause  
the workpiece to fly into the operator with  
deadly force! Before starting the machine,  
be certain the workpiece has been properly  
clamped to the table. NEVER hold the  
workpiece by hand during operation.  
8. Machine Care & Maintenance: Operating  
the mill with excessively worn or damaged  
machine parts increases the risk of machine  
or workpiece breakage which could eject  
hazardous debris at the operator. Operating  
a mill in poor condition will also reduce  
the quality of the results. To reduce this  
risk, maintain the mill in proper working  
condition by ALWAYS promptly performing  
routine inspections and maintenance.  
4. Spindle Speed: To avoid tool or workpiece  
breakage that could send flying debris at  
the operator and bystanders, use the correct  
spindle speed for the operation. Allow the  
mill to gain full speed before beginning the  
cut.  
9. Cutting Tool Usage: Cutting tools have very  
sharp leading edges—handle them with care!  
Using cutting tools that are in good condition  
helps to ensure quality milling results and  
reduces the risk of personal injury from  
broken tool debris. Inspect cutting tools for  
sharpness, chips, or cracks before each use,  
and ALWAYS make sure the cutting tools  
are firmly held in place before starting the  
machine.  
5. Spindle Direction Change: Changing spindle  
rotation direction while it is spinning could  
lead to impact injury from broken tool or  
workpiece debris, and workpiece or machine  
damage. ALWAYS make sure the spindle is  
at a complete stop before changing spindle  
direction.

Cleaning & Protecting  
The unpainted surfaces are coated at the factory  
with a heavy-duty rust preventative that  
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.  
The benefit of this rust preventative is that it  
works very well. The downside is that it can be  
time-consuming to thoroughly remove.  
Many cleaning solvents are  
toxic if inhaled. Minimize  
your risk by only using  
these products in a well  
ventilated area.  
Be patient and do a careful job when cleaning  
and removing the rust preventative. The time  
you spend doing this will reward you with  
smooth-sliding parts and a better appreciation  
for the proper care of the unpainted surfaces.  
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as  
acetone or brake parts cleaner that may  
damage painted surfaces. Always follow the  
manufacturer’s instructions when using any  
type of cleaning product.  
Although there are many ways to successfully  
remove the rust preventative, we have cleaned  
thousands of machines and found the following  
process to be the best balance between efficiency  
and minimized exposure to toxic fumes or  
chemicals.  
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:  
1. Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.  
2. #OAT ALL SURFACES THAT HAVE RUST PREVENTATIVE  
with a liberal amount of your cleaner or  
degreaser and let them soak for a few  
minutes.  
Before cleaning, gather the following:  
s
s
$ISPOSABLE rags  
#LEANERꢀDEGREASER (certain citrus-based  
degreasers work extremely well and they  
have non-toxic fumes)  
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner or  
degreaser is effective, the rust preventative  
will wipe off easily.  
s
3AFETY GLASSES ꢁ DISPOSABLE GLOVES  
Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preventative  
on flat surfaces, such as beds or tables, use  
A 0,!34)# PAINT SCRAPER TO SCRAPE OFF THE  
majority of the coating before wiping it off  
WITH YOUR RAGꢄ ꢅ$O NOT USE A METAL SCRAPER OR  
it may scratch the surface.)  
Note: Automotive degreasers, mineral spirits, or  
7$sꢂꢃ CAN BE USED TO REMOVE RUST PREVENTATIVEꢄ  
Before using these products, though, test them  
on an inconspicuous area of a painted area to  
make sure they will not damage it.  
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,  
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a  
quality metal protectant or light oil to  
prevent rust.  
Gasoline and petroleum  
products have low flash  
points and can explode  
or cause fire if used for  
cleaning. Avoid using these  
products to remove rust  
preventative.

Weight Load  
Location  
Refer to the Machine Specifications for the  
weight of your machine. Make sure that the  
surface upon which the machine is placed will  
bear the weight of the machine, additional  
equipment that may be installed on the machine,  
and the heaviest workpiece that will be used.  
Additionally, consider the weight of the operator  
and any dynamic loading that may occur when  
operating the machine.  
Physical Environment  
The physical environment where your machine  
is operated is important for safe operation and  
longevity of parts. For best results, operate this  
machine in a dry environment that is free from  
excessive moisture, hazardous or flammable  
chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme  
conditions. Extreme conditions for this type  
of machinery are generally those where the  
ambient temperature is outside the range of 41°–  
104°F; the relative humidity is outside the range  
of 20–95% (non-condensing); or the environment  
is subject to vibration, shocks, or bumps.  
Space Allocation  
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will  
be processed through this machine and provide  
enough space around the machine for adequate  
operator material handling or the installation  
of auxiliary equipment. With permanent  
installations, leave enough space around  
the machine to open or remove doors/covers  
as required by the maintenance and service  
described in this manual.  
Electrical Installation  
Place this machine near an existing power  
source. Make sure all power cords are protected  
from traffic, material handling, moisture,  
chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure to leave  
access to a means of disconnecting the power  
source or engaging a lockout/tagout device.  
Children or untrained  
people may be seriously  
injured by this machine.  
Only install in an access  
restricted location.  
Lighting  
Lighting around the machine must be adequate  
enough that operations can be performed  
safely. Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that  
may distract or impede the operator must be  
eliminated.

2. Place the lifting web straps under the ram  
and connect them to the safety hook, as  
illustrated in Figure 6.  
Lifting & Moving  
Note: Place padding between the straps and the  
mill to protect the ram and ways, and to  
keep from cutting the web straps.  
This machine and its  
parts are heavy! Serious  
personal injury may occur  
if safe moving methods are  
not used. To reduce the  
risk of a lifting or dropping  
injury, ask others for help  
and use power equipment.  
3. Unbolt the mill from the shipping pallet.  
4. With your assistants steadying the load to  
keep it from swaying, lift the mill a couple of  
inches.  
— If the mill tips to one side, lower to the  
ground and adjust the ram or table to  
balance the load. Make sure to re-tighten  
the lock levers and bolts before lifting the  
mill again.  
The method of lifting and moving the mill  
described below requires at least two other  
people for assistance and a forklift with two  
lifting web straps rated for at least 3000 lbs.  
each.  
— If the mill lifts evenly, continue to move it  
to its permanent location.  
Important: Before lifting the mill, make sure  
the four turret lock bolts (two on either side of  
the ram) are torqued to 47 ft/lbs.  
To lift and move the mill:  
1. Swing the ram around 180° from the position  
that it was shipped in, then rotate the  
head upright, as illustrated in Figure 6  
(refer to Ram Movement on Page 36 and  
Headstock Movement on Page 32 for  
detailed instructions).  
Note: After re-positioning the ram and  
headstock, make sure they are locked in  
place to prevent unexpected movement  
during lifting and moving.

Bolting to Concrete Floors  
Leveling & Mounting  
Generally, you can either bolt your machine  
to the floor or mount it on machine mounts.  
Although not required, we recommend that you  
secure the machine to the floor and level it while  
doing so. Because this is an optional step and  
floor materials may vary, hardware for securing  
the machine to the floor is not included.  
Anchor  
Bolt  
We strongly recommend securing your  
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the  
power source. Consult with your electrician to  
ensure compliance with local codes.  
Lag Screw  
and Anchor  
Leveling  
Leveling machinery helps precision components,  
such as bed ways, remain straight and flat  
during the lifespan of the machine. Components  
on an unleveled machine may slowly twist due to  
the dynamic loads placed on the machine during  
operation.  
Figure 8. Common types of fasteners for bolting  
machinery to concrete floors.  
For best results, use a precision level that  
is at least 12" long and sensitive enough to  
show a distinct movement when a 0.003" shim  
(approximately the thickness of one sheet of  
standard newspaper) is placed under one end of  
the level.  
See the figure below for an example of a high  
precision level.

Spindle Break-In  
Since the mill head was rotated parallel to  
the table for shipping purposes, you will need  
to tram the spindle with the table if your first  
cut requires a 90° alignment. Refer to the  
Tramming Spindle section on Page 33 for  
detailed instructions.  
Complete the spindle bearing break-in  
procedure to avoid rapid deterioration of  
spindle components when the mill is placed  
into operation.  
The high-quality bearings and gears used in the  
mill are manufactured to very close tolerances.  
However, this does not guarantee perfect  
dimensional mating of the bearing components or  
exact meshing of gear teeth. Before operational  
stress is placed on these and other moving parts  
in the mill, complete this break-in procedure to  
conform these components to one another and  
ensure trouble-free performance from the mill.  
Inspections &  
Adjustments  
The following list of adjustments were performed  
at the factory before the machine was shipped:

To perform the spindle break-in procedure:  
Be aware that machine components can shift  
during the shipping process. Pay careful  
attention to these adjustments during operation  
of the machine. If you find that the adjustments  
are not set according to the procedures in this  
manual or your personal preferences, re-adjust  
them.  
1. Successfully perform all the steps in the  
Test Run section beginning on Page 25.  
2. Make sure the spindle is at a complete stop.  
3. Set the spindle speed to the low range  
(refer to Setting Spindle Speed Range  
beginning on Page 37 for detailed  
instructions).  
4. Start the spindle rotation at a medium speed  
and let the mill run for 20 minutes.  
5. Stop the spindle rotation and allow the  
spindle to come to a complete stop by itself.  
6. Set the spindle speed to the high range, then  
start the spindle rotation at a medium speed  
and let the mill run for another 20 minutes.  
7. Stop the spindle rotation, and turn the mill  
OFF.  
The spindle break-in of the mill is now complete!

Setting Spindle Speed Range  
Setting Spindle Speed  
Setting the spindle speed range involves  
engaging and disengaging a spindle spline that  
uses gearing to increase or decrease the range of  
spindle speeds.  
Using the correct spindle speed is important  
for safe and satisfactory results, as well as  
maximizing tool life.  
To set the spindle speed for your operation, you  
will need to: (1) Determine the best spindle speed  
for the cutting task, and (2) configure the mill  
controls to produce the required spindle speed.  
The procedures to set the speed range for the  
Model SB1024 and Model SB1025/SB1026 differ  
slightly. Use the appropriate section on the  
following pages for the mill when selecting the  
speed range.  
Determining Spindle Speed  
Many variables affect the optimum spindle speed  
to use for any given operation, but the two most  
important are the recommended cutting speed  
for the workpiece material and the diameter of  
the cutting tool, as noted in Figure 31:  
To avoid damage to the spindle, gears, or  
cutting tools:

4HE MILL IS DESIGNED TO /.,9 OPERATE WITH  
the spindle speed range selector in either

the moving parts inside the headstock,  
never start spindle rotation without the  
range selector detent pin firmly seated in  
either the high or low position.  
*Double if using carbide cutting tool  
Figure 31. Spindle speed formula for milling.  
Cutting speed, typically defined in feet per  
minute (FPM), is the speed at which the edge of a  
tool moves across the material surface.  
s
7HEN CHANGING THE SPINDLE SPEED RANGE  
and the direction of spindle rotation  
reverses, you will need to either change  
the cutting tool to match the direction of  
spindle rotation or use the spindle direction  
switch to compensate for the reversal.  
A recommended cutting speed is an ideal speed  
for cutting a type of material in order to produce  
the desired finish and optimize tool life.  
The books Machinery’s Handbook or Machine  
Shop Practice, and some internet sites, provide  
excellent recommendations for which cutting  
speeds to use when calculating the spindle speed.  
These sources also provide a wealth of additional  
information about the variables that affect  
cutting speed and they are a good educational  
resource.  
Note: Regardless of the model of the mill, you  
MUST properly perform the Meshing Spindle  
& Spindle Clutch procedure as instructed on  
Page 40 when using the high spindle speed  
range.  
Also, there are a large number of easy-to-use  
spindle speed calculators that can be found on  
the internet. These sources will help you take  
into account all applicable variables to determine  
the best spindle speed for the operation.

4. Position the auto-downfeed direction pin for  
the spindle travel that is correct for your  
operation. It may be necessary to rock the  
fine downfeed handwheel back-and-forth to  
move the pin all the way in or out.  
Using the Auto-Downfeed System  
When using the auto-downfeed system, the  
spindle will move in the direction you choose  
with the auto-downfeed direction pin. When the  
quill dog reaches the top or meets the downfeed  
stop, the downfeed clutch lever will release.  
Then, if the spindle was traveling upward, the  
movement will simply stop. If the spindle was  
traveling downward, then the spindle will move  
back to the top at a rate controlled by the return  
spring on the left side of the head.  
Note: The direction pin has three positions: 1)  
In for one downfeed direction, 2) middle for  
neutral or no movement, and 3) out for the  
reverse direction. The direction of spindle  
travel for the in and out positions is relative  
to the direction of spindle rotation. Keep in  
mind that spindle rotation and downfeed  
direction will reverse when the spindle speed  
range is changed.  
To use the auto-downfeed system:  
1. Make sure that the spindle rotation is turned  
OFF and the spindle is at a complete stop.  
5. Make sure the clutch lever is all the way to  
the right in the disengaged position so that  
the spindle will not travel when rotation is  
started.  
2. To set the mill for auto-downfeed, pull the  
downfeed selector knob out, then rotate the  
selector clockwise and seat the pin in the  
rear auto-downfeed (engaged) position, as  
illustrated in Figure 42.  
Note: We recommend that you complete the  
remaining steps without a cutting tool  
installed, without a workpiece in place, and  
the table lower than the maximum spindle  
downfeed travel. This will enable you to test  
and confirm the settings before beginning  
the actual cutting operation.  
Auto-Downfeed (Engaged) Position  
To avoid damage to the system gearing, never  
use the auto-downfeed system with spindle  
speeds over 1860 RPM.  
6. Set the mill for the correct spindle speed,

Cleaning  
Lubrication  
Regular cleaning is one of the most important  
steps in taking good care of this lathe. Each  
operator is responsible for cleaning the machine  
immediately after using it or at the end of the  
day. We recommend that the cleaning routine  
be planned into the workflow schedule, so that  
adequate time is set aside to do the job right.  
The mill has numerous moving metal-to-  
metal contacts that require regular and proper  
lubrication to ensure efficient and long-lasting  
operation, and to protect your investment.  
Other than the lubrication points covered in  
this section, all other bearings are internally  
lubricated and sealed at the factory. Simply leave

ways and table is to use a wet/dry shop vacuum  
that is dedicated for this purpose only. The small  
chips leftover after vacuuming can be wiped up  
with a slightly oiled rag. Avoid using compressed  
air to blow off chips, as it may drive them deeper

during cleaning. Remember, personal neatness  
gives you personality!  
Use the schedule and information in Figure 48  
as a daily guide for lubrication tasks. Follow the  
referenced sections on the following pages for  
detailed instructions.  
Unpainted & Machined Surfaces  
Besides the ways and elevation leadscrew, all  
other unpainted and machined surfaces should  
be wiped down daily to keep them rust-free  
and in top condition. This includes surface you  
can find that could be vulnerable to rust if left  
unprotected (this especially includes any parts  
that may be exposed to water soluble cutting  
fluids). Typically with these parts, a thin film of  
oil is all that is necessary for protection.  
The following recommended lubrication  
schedule is based on light to medium mill  
usage. Keeping in mind that lubrication helps  
to protect the value and operation of the mill,  
you may need to perform the lubrication tasks  
more frequently depending on your usage.

BIOLOGICAL & POISON  
HAZARD!  
1. DISCONNECT MILL FROM POWER!  
Use the correct personal  
protection equipment when  
handling cutting fluid.  
Follow Federal, State, and  
the coolant manufacturer's  
requirement to safely  
dispose of the used  
coolant.  
2. Put on personal protective equipment.  
3. Remove the coolant reservoir access panel  
from the rear of the column (see Figure 60).  
Screen  
The cavity in the base of the mill can be used  
as a coolant reservoir if you choose to install  
a recirculating coolant pump accessory. This  
reservoir also catches any coolant and debris that  
falls from the table and through the screens in  
the base.  
Access  
Panel  
Drain  
Plug  
Hazards  
As some coolant ages, it develops dangerous  
microbes which eventually proliferate and create  
a biological hazard. The risk of exposure to  
this hazard can be greatly reduced by cleaning  
out the coolant reservoir on a monthly basis or  
sooner, if needed based on your daily inspection.  
Figure 60. Coolant reservoir access panel and drain  
plug.  
4. Place the catch pan under the drain plug,  
then remove the plug and allow the fluid to  
drain into the pan.  
The important thing to keep in mind when  
working with coolant is to minimize exposure  
to your skin, eyes, and respiratory system  
by wearing the proper personal protective  
equipment, which includes splash-resistant  
safety glasses, long-sleeve gloves, protective  
clothing, and a NIOSH-approved respirator.  
5. Clean away debris and grime from the  
coolant drain screens on the base of the mill.  
6. Use rags, scrapers, and cleaning solvent  
to thoroughly clean out the bottom of the  
reservoir.  
Note: Use a cleaning solvent that is compatible  
with the type of coolant. For instance, if you  
are using a water-base coolant, then use a  
water-base cleaning solvent.  
7. When the reservoir is clean and dry, replace  
the access panel and drain plug.

Adjusting Gibs  
Gibs are tapered lengths of metal that are  
sandwiched between two moving surfaces. Gibs  
control the gap between these surfaces and how  
they slide past one another. Correctly adjusting  
the gibs is critical to producing good milling  
results.  
Table Gib &  
Adjustment Screw  
Tight gibs make table movement more  
accurate but stiff. Loose gibs make moving the  
table sloppy but easier to do. The goal of gib  
adjustment is to remove unnecessary sloppiness  
without causing the ways to bind.  
Figure 61. Table gib and adjustment screw underneath  
the left side of the table.  
Gibs are adjusted with a screw on each end of  
the gib, that move the tapered gib back-and-  
forth to increase or decrease the friction pressure  
between the sliding surfaces. The process of  
properly adjusting the gibs requires trial-and-  
error and patience.  
DISCONNECT MILL FROM POWER BEFORE  
ADJUSTING THE GIBS!  
Make sure all table and knee locks are loose.  
Then, loosen one gib adjustment screw and  
tighten the other the same amount to move the  
gib. Use the ball handles/crank to move the table/  
knee until you feel a slight drag in that path of  
movement.  
Saddle Gib &  
Adjustment Screw

Longitudinal Leadscrew Backlash  
Adjusting Leadscrew  
Backlash  
1. DISCONNECT MILL FROM POWER!  
2. Loosen the two cap screws on the leadscrew  
nut accessed from underneath the left side of  
the table, as shown in Figure 64.  
Leadscrew backlash is the amount of motion  
the leadscrew rotates before the attached device  
begins to move.  
Although the mill is equipped with double-  
bronzed longitudinal and cross leadscrew nuts to  
minimize backlash, leadscrews will always have  
a certain amount of backlash that will increase  
with normal wear.  
Generally, 0.005"–0.010" leadscrew backlash  
is acceptable to ensure smooth movement and  
reduce the risk of premature thread wear.  
However, if you find it necessary to adjust  
leadscrew backlash, perform the procedures  
listed below.

Electrical Safety Instructions  
These pages are accurate at the time of printing. In the constant effort to improve, however, we may  
make changes to the electrical systems of future machines. Study this section carefully. If you see  
differences between your machine and what is shown in this section, call Technical Support at (360)  
734-1540 for assistance BEFORE making any changes to the wiring on the machine.  
1. Shock Hazard: Working on wiring that is  
connected to a power source is extremely  
dangerous. Touching electrified parts will  
result in personal injury including but  
not limited to severe burns, electrocution,  
or death. Disconnect the power from  
the machine before servicing electrical  
components!  
5. Circuit Requirements: You MUST follow  
the requirements at the beginning of this  
manual when connecting your machine to a  
power source.  
6. Capacitors/Inverters: Some capacitors and  
power inverters store an electrical charge for  
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected  
from the power source. To reduce the risk of  
being shocked, wait at least this long before  
working on capacitors.  
2. Wire Connections: All connections must be  
tight to prevent wires from loosening during  
machine operation. Double-check all wires  
disconnected or connected during any wiring  
task to ensure tight connections.  
7. Wire/Component Damage: Damaged wires  
or components increase the risk of serious  
personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If  
you notice that any wires or components are  
damaged while performing a wiring task,  
replace those wires or components before  
completing the task.  
3. Modifications: Using aftermarket parts or  
modifying the wiring beyond what is shown  
in the diagram may lead to unpredictable  
results, including serious injury or fire.  
8. Experiencing Difficulties: If you are  
experiencing difficulties understanding the  
information included in this section, contact  
our Technical Support at (360) 734-1540.  
4. Motor Wiring: The motor wiring shown in  
these diagrams is current at the time of  
printing, but it may not match your machine.  
Always use the wiring diagram inside the  
motor junction box.
