HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Securely mount your workpiece onto the mill's table using appropriate clamps or fixtures. Ensure the workpiece is stable and will not move during the milling process.
2. Tool Selection: Choose the correct milling cutter for your desired operation. Insert the tool into the spindle and tighten the drawbar securely.
3. Zeroing the DRO: Set the reference points on the DRO to establish the zero position for each axis. This will ensure accurate measurements during your cuts.
4. Setting Spindle Speed and Feed Rate: Consult the material specifications and your cutter's recommendations to determine the appropriate spindle speed and feed rate for your operation.
5. Making the Cut: Use the handwheels or power feed to move the table, saddle, and knee to position the workpiece under the cutter. Engage the power feed or manually advance the quill to initiate the cut. Monitor the DRO to ensure accuracy.
6. Completing the Operation: Once the cut is complete, retract the quill and return the table to its starting position. Turn off the spindle and carefully remove the workpiece.
