-2- H8368 Electric Power Drawbar
Drawbar Assembly
The goal of these procedures is to fabricate
an entirely new drawbar that will extend down
through the spindle the same length as your mill's
existing drawbar. Also, you must ensure that the
top shoulder of the new bolt head will be flush with
the mounting surface of the motor assembly.
To assemble the drawbar:
1. Use a caliper to measure the diameter of your
mill's drawbar bolt head (see Figure 3).
Figure 3. Bolt head and drawbar shaft.
Bolt Head
Drawbar Shaft
— If the diameter of your mill's existing bolt
head is 24mm, then proceed to Step 2.
— If the diameter of your mill's existing bolt
head is smaller than 24mm, use a lathe to
turn the new bolt head to match the diam-
eter of the your mill's existing bolt head
(see A in Figure 4).
Note: The splines of the new bolt head are
specifically designed to match the socket
of the drawbar motor. DO NOT damage
them.
— If the diameter of your mill's existing bolt
head is larger than 24mm, make a section
that equals the diameter of your mill's bolt
head and attach it to the end of the new
bolt head (see B in Figure 4).
— If your mill does not allow the bolt head
to be inserted into the spindle cavity, then
you must build a drawbar motor mounting
adapter that will allow only the full spline
to be above the mounting surface (see
Figure 5).
Note: Before making any alterations to the
new drawbar, read through the rest of the
instructions to calculate the correct lengths.

2. Measure the length of your mill's existing
drawbar from the bottom of the bolt head to
the end of the drawbar shaft, then add 11⁄2"
(see Figure 6).
Note: The additional 11⁄2" is the amount of the
new shaft that will be inserted into the new
bolt head in a later step.

4. Insert the new bolt head into the top of the
spindle, then measure the distance from the
top shoulder of the bolt head to the mounting
surface of the motor assembly (see Figure
7).

7. Press the new bolt head and drawbar shaft
together.
Note: Make sure not to damage the bolt head
spline or the threaded end of the shaft.
8. Drill two holes completely through the bolt
head and drawbar shaft to accept a tight fit
from the 4 x 23mm pins, then insert the pins
(see Figure 9).
5. Remove the amount measured in Step 4
from the bottom of the new bolt head (see
Figure 8).
Note: The top shoulder of the new bolt
head below the spline must be even with
the mounting surface on the mill to properly
engage with the drawbar motor.

centered and press-fit tight.

Installation
1. Prepare the top of your mill so that the alu-
minum mounting plate of the power drawbar
motor is center-aligned to the spindle.
2. If the mounting holes in the mounting plate
do not align with threaded holes in the mill to
accept the M6-1 x 25 cap screws, drill new
holes in the mounting plate.
Note: The power drawbar motor must be
mounted flat with and fully supported by the
mill, exactly centered over the spindle open-
ing.
3. Insert the new drawbar assembly, then mount
and secure the power drawbar motor to the
mill with the electrical connector facing to the
rear.
4. Temporarily support the switch assembly,
then connect the switch electrical plug with
the motor electrical plug.

-4- H8368 Electric Power Drawbar
Power Connection Device
The type of plug required to connect your machine
to power depends on the type of service you cur-
rently have or plan to install. We recommend
using the plug shown in Figure 10.
Electrocution or fire could
result if machine is not
grounded and installed in
compliance with electrical
codes. Compliance MUST
be verified by a qualified
electrician!
Figure 10. NEMA 6-15 plug and receptacle.
Operation
1. Connect the drawbar unit to power.
Cutting tools are sharp! When using the
power drawbar, the tooling may spin a little.
Protect your hands when using the power
drawbar to load or unload tooling.
2. To install tooling:
a. Insert the tooling into the spindle in the
normal manner that is correct for your
mill, and up against the bottom of the
drawbar assembly.
b. Press the IN button on the drawbar
switch to activate the drawbar motor and
thread the drawbar into the tooling.
Note: When the tooling is fully secure and
you can hear the drawbar motor begin to
"ratchet", release the IN button. DO NOT
overly tighten the tooling.
3. To un-install tooling, press the OUT button of
the drawbar switch to release and unthread
the tooling.
Note: As the tooling is released from the
drawbar, it could suddenly drop out of the
spindle.
5. Tuck the plugs and cords around the top part
of the motor, then slide the motor cover over
the motor so that the switch cord strain relief
mounts to the slot in the cover.
6. Secure the motor cover to the aluminum
mounting plate with the three M4-.7 x 8 cap
screws.
7. Mount the switch in a convenient position on
your mill (see Figure 2 on Page 1).

Power Supply Circuit Requirements
You MUST connect the electric power drawbar to
a grounded circuit that is rated for the amperage
given below. Never replace a circuit breaker on
an existing circuit with one of higher amperage
without consulting a qualified electrician to ensure
compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure
about the wiring codes in your area or you
plan to connect your machine to a shared cir-
cuit, consult a qualified electrician.
Minimum 220V Circuit Size ...................15 Amps
