SAFETY
M1001 6" x 26" Vertical Mill
APPROVED OPERATION. Untrained operators
can be seriously hurt by machinery. Only
allow trained or properly supervised people
to use machine. When machine is not being
used, disconnect power, remove switch keys,
or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized
use—especially around children. Make
workshop kid proof!
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during
operations greatly increases the risk of injury
and loss of control. Verify machines are
stable/secure and mobile bases (if used) are
locked before starting.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It
will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
ONLY USE AS INTENDED. Only use machine for
its intended purpose. Never modify or alter
machine for a purpose not intended by the
manufacturer or serious injury may result!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand
positions that make workpiece control difficult
or increase the risk of accidental injury.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase the risk of serious
injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never leave machine
running while unattended. Turn machine off
and ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Stop using machine if children or
bystanders become a distraction.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to
keep machine in good working condition. An

ELECTRICAL
ELECTRICAL
Availability
Before installing the machine, consider the availability
and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an
existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this
machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize
the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage,
installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
a qualified electrician in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards.
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine
draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines
with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the
largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices
that might operate at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating at 110V................. 16 Amps
Full-Load Current Rating at 220V...................8 Amps
The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps
that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded,
it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of
time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—especially
if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the
risk of these hazards, avoid overlovading the machine
during operation and make sure it is connected to a
power supply circuit that meets the requirements in the
following section.
-10-
Electrocution, fire, or equipment
damage may occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and connected to
the power supply.
For your own safety and protection of
property, consult a qualified electrician
if you are unsure about wiring practices
or electrical codes in your area.
M1001 6" x 26" Vertical Mill
Circuit Information
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the fullload current drawn from the machine for an extended
period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
Note: The circuit requirements listed in this
manual apply to a dedicated circuit—where
only one machine will be running at a
time. If this machine will be connected to
a shared circuit where multiple machines
will be running at the same time, consult
a qualified electrician to ensure that the
circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
Circuit Requirements for 110V
Nominal Voltage.................................... 110V/120V
Cycle.........................................................60 Hz
Phase............................................... Single-Phase
Minimum Circuit Size................................ 20 Amps
Plug/Receptacle.................................... NEMA 5-15
Circuit Requirements for 220V
This machine can be converted to operate on a 220V
power supply (refer to Voltage Conversion later in this
section). The intended 220V circuit must have a verified
ground and meet the following requirements:
Nominal Voltage.................................... 220V/240V
Cycle.........................................................60 Hz
Phase............................................... Single-Phase
Minimum Circuit Size................................ 15 Amps

ELECTRICAL
This machine is prewired to operate on a 110V power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the
following requirements:
M1001 6" x 26" Vertical Mill
Grounding & Plug Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain
malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current.
ELECTRICAL
For 110V operation: This machine is equipped with a
power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a
grounding plug (similar to the figure on the right). The
plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
For 220V operation: The plug specified under “Circuit
Requirements for 220V” on the previous page has a
grounding prong that must be attached to the equipmentgrounding wire inside the included power cord. The plug
must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (similar
to the figure on the right) that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire
can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with
green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of
the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying)
terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not understand these grounding requirements,
or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is
properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or
plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and
immediately replace it with a new one.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this
machine. If you must use an extension cord, only use it if
absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage
electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage
drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer
and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers
indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a
ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and
meet the following requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size.................................. 12 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).................50 ft.

Machine Placement
•
Floor Load: Your vertical mill has a large
weight load of 822 lbs. in a small footprint.
We recommend placing this mill on a
concrete floor.
•
Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through the machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for
your vertical mill (see Figure 5).
•
Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
•
Electrical: Electrical circuits must be
dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,
or circuits.
Cleaning Machine
The table and other unpainted parts of your
Vertical Mill are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment.
Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorinebased solvents such as brake parts cleaner or
acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.
NEVER use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
Most
have low flash
points, which make them
extremely
flammable.
A risk of explosion and
burning exists if these
products are used. Serious
personal injury may occur
if this warning is ignored!
60"
ALWAYS work in wellventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many
solvents are toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Use
care when disposing
of waste rags and
towels to be sure they
DO NOT create fire or
environmental hazards.

M1001 6" x 26" Vertical Mill
Mounting Mill on Shop
Floor
Although not required, it is recommend that you mount
your new mill to the floor. Because this is an optional
step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting
hardware is not included. Generally, you can either
bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine
mounts. Both options are described below. Whichever
option you choose, it will be necessary to use a precision
level to level your mill (see Figures 6-8).
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs are
two predominate methods for anchoring an object to a
concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options
and methods for mounting your mill and choose the best
that fits your specific application.

Using Machine Mounts
Using machine mounts gives the advantage of fast leveling
and vibration reduction. The large size of the foot pads
distributes the weight of the machine to reduce strain on
the floor.
NOTICE
Anchor studs, as shown in Figure 7, are stronger and
more permanent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor, which may
cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your
machine at a later point.

OPERATIONS
The table can be moved in 3 axes. Each axis is
independently controlled by a handle or handwheel. The
longitudinal travel has the added feature of a power
feed, which will be explained in more detail later. Each
handle or handwheel has a graduated dial to accurately
position the workpiece in relation to the cutting tool.
Each axis has the ability to be locked in position. Locking
the axis in place will help keep workpiece vibration to a
minimum.
M1001 6" x 26" Vertical Mill
Graduated Dials
The table handwheels and the knee handle have
graduated dials. Each mark represents 0.001" of
movement and one full revolution equals 0.100" The
graduated dials float and can be indexed or "zeroed" by
loosening the knurled head thumb screw, rotating the
graduated dial to "0", and securing the setting with the
knurled head thumb screw (see Figure 17).
Example:
Suppose you want to drill a series of holes with 1/2"
centers (0.500"). After locating the first hole placement
and drilling, you would zero the graduated dial of the
appropriate axis, set the knurled head thumb screw,
move the table 0.500" in the appropriate direction and
drill the next hole.

grime that can gum up moving parts.
A regular application of a protective spray coating will
keep the table and other bare metal parts from rusting
and pitting.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Cleaning the Model M1001 is relatively easy. Sweep excess
metal chips from the table and ways, and wipe off the
remaining waste with a dry cloth. If any coolant is left on
the table, wipe it up with a rag. Treat all unpainted cast
iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.
Table and Base
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces by wiping them
clean after every use—this ensures moisture does not
remain on bare metal surfaces.
Keep exposed cast iron rust-free with regular applications
of surface lubricants designed for cast iron.
Remove vices, clamps, rotary tables, etc. after use so
moisture cannot be trapped between the components
and cause rust.
-26-
MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all maintenance procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

Figure 29. Cross gib screw.
MAKE SURE that your machine is unplugged during all
service procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
Gibs
The gibs are pre-adjusted at the factory and should not
need further adjustment until many hours of machine use,
if ever. If the movement seems too tight, make sure that
the locks are fully released, ways are free of chips and
debris and are thoroughly lubricated with oil.
Figure 30. Longitudinal gib screw.
Adjust the gibs by a combination of loosening or
tightening the adjustment screws until a slight drag is felt
while moving the table/knee along the dovetail slides.
There are two adjustment screws, one on each end of the
gib (see Figures 29-31 for the locations of the adjustment
screws). The chip wiper guards must be removed to
access some of the gib adjustment screws.
-29-
SERVICE
When adjusting the gibs, the goal is to take out
unnecessary play in the table and cross slide without
causing the slides to bind. Loose gibs may cause poor
finishes on the workpiece and may cause undue wear on
the slide. Over-tightening may cause premature wear to
the gib.
Figure 31. Knee gib screw.
M1001 6" x 26" Vertical Mill
Adjusting Backlash
Backlash is the amount of play found in a leadscrew.
It can be found by turning the cross slide handwheel
in one direction, and then turning the handwheel the
other direction. When the cross slide begins to move, the
backlash has been taken up.
Adjustment Cap Screws
Leadscrews are adjusted for backlash at the factory
and should not need any adjustment for many hours of
machine use, if ever. Keeping a clean and well lubricated
machine will ensure long leadscrew life.
To adjust the backlash, do these steps:
Longitudinal Nut
Longitudinal Feed Adjustment
Figure 32. Longitudinal nut.
1. Slightly tighten the two cap screws on the
longitudinal nut (see Figure 32). DO NOT
overtighten.
2. Rotate the handwheel in both directions to see if
backlash has been reduced or eliminated. There
should only be a slight drag when turning the
handwheel.
Note: If the cap screws are too tight, it will
cause excessive wear to the longitudinal nut and
leadscrew, which could lead to costly repairs.
Cross Nut
Adjustment Cap Screws
Crossfeed Adjustment
1. Slightly tighten the two cap screws on the cross nut
(see Figure 33). DO NOT overtighten.
2. Rotate the handwheel in both directions to see if
backlash has been reduced or eliminated. There
should only be a slight drag when turning the
handwheel.
Note: If the cap screws are too tight, it will cause
excessive wear to the cross nut and leadscrew, which
could lead to costly repairs.
