FEATURES AND MAIN APPLICATIONS

Features

The 626-turret mill is a compact vertical milling machine, easy to set up, with controls
designed for easier operation (dual hand wheels).
A practical machine that can be easily used for technical schools, small parts production, tool
rooms, R&D work, maintenance shops and even hobby use.
Ideally suited for many operations: conventional milling, compound angle milling, engraving,
drilling as well as jig boring.
The 'ways' are hand scraped for a perfect bearing alignment, as well as the table being
ground for a perfect square ness.
All high castings are made of a high strength material. They are aged for several months
before normalizing and tempering, to minimize deformation.
Installation
To set the machine on a solid concrete foundation, it is advisable to apply a little grout to
touch up any unevenness in the concrete in order to get a solid foundation at all points.
When setting the machine on a floor that has any surface irregularities, shims should be used
to correct.
Pre-lubrication
Thoroughly clean the machine with gasoline or kerosene, and then lubricate all the slide ways
with S.A.E. #10 & gears with S.A.E. #30 lubricant. Be sure the machine is lubricated
properly before starting.
