Features
1. This machine has several uses, such as surface cutting, drilling milling and also can
equipped with an electric switch for tapping.
2. This machine is of fine quality, can be operated easily and it is not limited to skilled
operators.
3. The drilling and milling operation can be performed by two methods:
a. Hand operation which makes quick drilling.
b. Worm gear feed operation, which makes slow automatic drilling.
4. Bronze adjustable nuts which adjust the there ad clearance and reduce the wear. They
also make screws rotated smoothly and increase the there as accuracy.
5. Whole column which makes this machine strong, stable and also keep the high
accuracy.
6. Head of tough cast ensures its accuracy lasting and enduring through the treatment of
precise boring cylinder, grinding and internal stress relief.

4. Delivery and Installation
1. Be sure all locks of headstock and column are tightened before operation.
2. Always keep proper footing and balance while moving this 300 kgs. machine and only
use heavy duty fibre belt to lift the machine.
3. Keep machine always out from sun, dust, wet, and raining area.
4. Properly position and tighten 4 bolts into base holes after machine is in balance.
5. Turn off the power before wiring and be sure the machine is in proper grounding.
Overload and circuit breaker is recommended for safety wiring.
6. Check carefully that main shaft runs in clockwise direction. If this is not the case it is
necessary to change 2 phases - then repeat the test till spindle direction is correct.
7. Finish removing this wooden case/crate from the machine. Unbolt the machine from
the crate bottom.
8. Carefully lift the machine to a sturdy stand or work bench. For best performance,
through bolt the machine to bench stand.
9. Bolt the stand legs to the floor, while using a sturdy stand.
5. Operating the machine
Use of Main Machine Parts
1. To raise and lower the head by head handle.
2. Equipped with an electric switch for tapping operation clockwise or counter clockwise.
3. To adjust the quick or slow feeding by feed handle.
4. To adjust the table left and right travel by table handle wheel.
5. To adjust the table fore and aft travel by table handle wheel.
6. To operate the spindle handle wheel for micro feed.
7. To adjust the scale size according to working need.
Precaution for operation
Check all parts for proper condition before operation; if normal safety precautions are
noticed carefully, this machine can provide you withstanding of accurate service.
1. Before Operation
a) Fill the lubricant.
b) In order to keep the accurate precision, the table must be free from dust and oil
deposits.
c) Check to see that the tools are correctly set and the work piece is set firmly.
d) Be sure the speed is not set too fast.
e) Be sure everything is ready before use.
2. After Operation
a) Turn off the electric switch.
b) Turn down the tools.

8
c) Clean the machine and coat it with lubricant.
d) Cover the machine with cloth to keep out the dust.
3. Adjustment of Head
a) To raise and lower the head, loosen the two heavy duty head lock nuts shown in Fig.
1. Use the left side head handle to raise and lower the head on its rack and pinion
mechanism. When the desired height is reached, tighten the bolts to avoid vibrations.
b) Head may be rotated 360°by loosening the same bolts as mentioned above. Adjust
the head to the desired angle, then fix the heavy duty head locknuts. It is tightened the
same time to fix the head if drilling and milling too much.
c) Unscrew the 3 nuts while the work piece needs to be well drilled, turn to the degrees
you wish on the scale then screw back the 3 nuts again.
Quill Return Spring Adjustment
Spring tension for return of spindle, after hole drilling has been preset at the factory. No
further adjustment should be attempted unless absolutely necessary. Adjustment will
probably be required if a multiple spindle drilling or tapping head is used. If adjustment is
necessary, loosen lock screw while holding quill spring housing. Do not allow the housing
to turn in your hand, or spring will unwind. Turn entire housing assembly clockwise the
number of turns necessary to cause the quill to return to its up position.
Note: the flat of the spring housing pilot is lined up with the spring loading hole on
the body of the spring housing.
Reset lock screw and make sure point of screw mates to flat on the housing journal.
1. Preparing for Drilling (see Fig. 2). (Except addition power feed system).
Turn off the knob, loosen the taper body of worm gear and spring base. Then you decide
spindle stroke setting the positive depth stop gauge for drilling blind hole or free state for
pass hole.
2. Preparing for Milling (see Fig. 2). (Except addition power feed system).
a) Adjust the positive depth stop gauge to highest point position.
b) Tight turn of the knob is used to taper friction force coupling the worm gear and spring
base. Then turning the handle wheel by micro set the spindle of work piece machining
height.
c) Lock the rack sleeve at the desired height with fixed bolt.

Adjusting Table Slack and Compensate for Wear
1. Your machine is equipped with hub strip adjustment to compensate for wear and
excess slack on cross and longitudinal travel.
2. Clockwise rotate the job strip bolt with a big screw for excess slack otherwise a little
counter clockwise if too tight.
3. Adjust the jib strip bolt until feeling a slight drag when shifting the table.
Clamping, Table Base and Machine Base
1. When milling longitudinal feed, it is advisable to lock the cross feed table travel to
insure the accuracy of your work. To do this, tighten the small leaf screw located on
the right side of the table base.
2. To tighten the longitudinal feed travel of the table for cross feed milling, tighten the two
small leaf screws on the front of the table base.
3. Adjustable travel stops are provided on the front of the table for control of cross travel
and the desired milling length.
Speed Changing
1. Turn power off
2. Select the suitable RPM from speed
charts of table 1.
3. Turn the speed lever A and B to
correct position.
4. Turn on the power.
Caution for Switch
