Mill Head – Left/Right Adjustment
Make sure the machine base is
secured to the floor before repositioning the mill
head. The center of gravity can shift enough to
cause the machine to tip over, resulting in
serious injury to the operator and damage to the
machine.

Note: The scales on the ram adapter and for
head rotation are guides only. Close tolerance
work will require the use of a dial indicator to
make sure the head is 90° to the table in the X
and Y axis. Please note the table is fitted to be
slightly higher in front, usually about 0.0005”.
