Goes through the hole in the spindle to draw chucks and other accessories into the headstock taper inside the spindle. A special washer locates in on center in the spindle hole.
Industry:Industrial machinery
The solid base that has the dovetail for the saddle to move in and out on and to which the mill column is attached.
Industry:Industrial machinery
Tapered plastic gibs are used on each dovetailed axis to take up wear as it occurs. They are slightly wedge shaped. As side-to-side "slop" develops on an axis, the gib lock is loosened and the gib is pushed a little further into the gap, taking up the play. These allow the machine to always be kept as tight as the operator desires. If or when they wear out, they are very inexpensive to replace.
Industry:Industrial machinery
Located on the back side of the vertical column, this locking lever locks against the saddle nut to prevent unwanted movement of the Z-axis during machining operations. Manual machines are fitted with a standard on/off locking lever. CNC machines are fitted with an adjustable locking lever that can be used to control backlash in the Z-axis. This function is available as an option on any manual mill as well.
Industry:Industrial machinery
The threaded screws that move the table left/right and in/out as well as the vertical axis up and down. They are driven by handwheels marked in. 001" or. 01 mm increments.
Industry:Industrial machinery
The steel dovetailed column that is held to the mill column base and supports the Z-axis saddle and headstock.
Industry:Industrial machinery
The saddle on the vertical column that moves the headstock (Z-Axis) up and down by means of a leadscrew and handwheel.
Industry:Industrial machinery
The mill saddle slides in and out (Y-axis) on the mill base. The mill table moves left and right (X-axis) on top of the saddle.
Industry:Industrial machinery
Parts are fixed to the table using a vise, chuck or clamps and moved under the milling cutter using the X- and Y-axis handwheels.
Industry:Industrial machinery
Used to hold drill bits for drilling holes. (Not to be used to hold end mills!)
