5. ADJUSTMENTS
5.1 Workhead race
The grinding workhead is fixed to the column. The steering wheel of the
workhead in the upper column can move. When the steering wheel is turned a
circle, the workhead moves 2mm. When the steering wheel is turned a
division, the workhead moves with precision of 0.02mm.
The wheel shaft is connected to the motor shaft. The axis angle grinding wheel
can be adjusted by the adjusting lever (7).
The grinding workhead can be adjusted by loosening the two bolts. The safety
cover can be rotated to 360º by the screw (10) on top of the cover.
"
5.2 Worktable
There is a T-slot of 14 mm wide at the worktable, which can be set any
accessories in a proper position. The movement is done with the steering
wheel (14).
The worktable race can be adjusted with the lock position (5) on the side of the
column. The adjusting knob (4) can be used to adjust the table accurately. The
steering wheel (14) is to allow movement of the table again.
5.3 Work sliding table
The work sliding table can be moved 150mm forward and backward. When the
steering wheel (6) rotates a circle, the sliding table moves 3mm. A division on
the scale shows the movement of 0.03mm.

6. OPERATION
6.1 Sharpening end mills (rear corner)
Apices template double rod is fixed in the machine. The support of the cutting
tool is at the top of the clamp. The stop of the clamp is fixed to the sliding
table. Buffer end gag is 3-5mm lower than the centerline of the shaft. The
right hand rotates the shaft tooth per tooth, and the left hand moves the
worktable in longitudinal and sharpens the cutting tool.
Make sure that the cutting tool does not slip out of the clamp when the
worktable is moved to the sides.

6.2 Sharpening of mono angular mills
!
The staff of the stem is fixed to the machine. Sanding wheel slants downward
3º-5º. The lathe tools moves 90º-92º to the left and it is fixed. The stop of the
clamp is lifted to the front of the cutting tool. The right hand indicates the

6.3 Sharpening of mills cutters T
We will use the fixture for straight shank mills. You will also need the drill
sleeve for conical stem mills. The drill sleeve can be put directly into the hole
of the tool holder. The grinding wheel tilts down 3°-10 ° and held by the
seatback angle. The stop of the clamp is lifted to the side of the end mill. The
right hand indicates the cutting tool, the left hand moves the worktable in the
longitudinal direction and sharpens the mill.!
!
6.4 Sharpening of three cuts mills
Sharpening the right:
The staff of the stem is fixed to the machine. The stop of the clamp rises to the
front of the mill. The right hand indicates the cutting tool, the left hand moves
the worktable in transversal direction and sharpens the mill.
Sharpening the side:
To sharpen the top of the mill, the clamp is used to index the mill. The
toolholder axis tilts up 6º-8º, and moves 83º-88º from left to right and it is
fixed. The right hand indicates the cutting tool, the left hand moves the
worktable in transversal direction and sharpens the mill.
If the operator wants to sharp over three cuts mills tracks simultaneously, he
can fix in the accessory stem and use the template double rod apices
sharpening.!

6.5 Sharpening of end mills
Sharpening the outside:
Loosen the bolt and turn the column (12) to the right, with a 30° angle and
then lock. The cutter placed in the clamps of the tool holder. Fix the clamp on
the worktable. Place mill stand on top of the clamp. Move the worktable from
left to right, while rotating the shaft of the toolholder and sharpens. When
sharpening the back angle, the shaft of the grinding wheel and the shaft of the
toolholder are adjusted up and down to the sharp end.
"
"
"
Sharpening of knives
Turn the workhead at an angle of 85º-90°, turn the column to the left at an
angle of 60º and fixed them separately. Keep the center of the grinding wheel
5-10 mm lower the center of the sheet, and keep the sheet horizontal. The
index of scale in the tail points on the sheet. The nut on the back is tightened.
The worktable moves from right to left and sharpens.
