MILL HEAD ROTATION: The CX600 mill
head is designed to be tilted + - 90,
enabling it to perform task such as angle
drilling or horizontal slotting.
Support the head and loosen the nut and
the bolt located under the head shown in
figure-8.
Rotate the head to its desired angle, using
the tilt scale shown in figure-9. Once the
head is at the desired angle, re-tighten the
bolt and the nut.
WARNING
For best result, all milling operations
should be done with the quill/spindle as
close to the head assembly as possible.
Make sure to lock the spindle, table, and
mill head in place before starting milling
operation.
WARNING
When loosening the nuts, make sure to
provide support to the head so that it
does not rotate unexpectedly.
