SECTION I
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system consists of the main drive
motor and the necessary controls. This motor drives
the spindle and supplies power for the feed and rapid
traverse drives to knee, saddle, and table on all
machines and to the vertical head on sliding head ver-
tical machines.
A master disconnect switch which controls all cur-
rent from the main line to the electrical starter
cabinet is actuated by a lever on the cabinet. The lever
must bE' in the ON position before power operation is
possible. The master start and stop buttons control the
main drive motor. This motor must be running
in order to move the knee, saddle, table and vertical
head by power.
Control fuses, heater elements and overload relay:"
are incorporated in the electrical system to provide th('
maximum protection for the motor and controls. BC'-
cause of the complexity of the electrical system, ~
recommend that only a competent electrician be per-
mitted to work on any of the equipment.
SECTION II
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
There are individual lubricating systems for the
moving parts of the column, the knee, the saddle, and
the vertical head. Each system is provided with a
sight gauge to indicate the oil level. The gauges for
the knee (plain machines only) and head also indicate
whether or not oil is flowing. The column is provided
with an individual flow gauge. Oil flows in the column
and knee systems whenever the motor is running. Oil
flows in the vertical sliding head system whenever
the spindle is running. The saddle system is operated
merely by withdrawing and releasing the handle of the
Bijur pump.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Follow all directions given in the Lubrication
Charts on pages 20, 21 and 22.
2. Periodically check the oil sight g,lUges. Tn,
oil should be at the high point in the levei g.l";(l
when the machine is not in operation and shouH1
drop during operation. If oil is not paSSing through
the flow gauges during operation, stop the motor inc
check the oil level.
Note Oil flow does not register in the
knee oil sight gauge on automatic
cycle machines.
3. Wipe the accumulated dirt from the exposed sec-
tions of the overarms and apply a thin coat of oil
once each day.
4. Periodically grease the motor if it is provided
with two zerk fittings. If the motor is equipped with
sealed-for-life bearings, refer to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

SECTION III
COOLANT SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The coolant pump distributes coolant from the
reservoir in the base of the column up through pipes
and nozzles to the cutter. From here the coolant falls
to the table and returns to the reservoir through the
telescopic coolant return tube. The coolant distributor
nozzles (two on the horizontal machines and one on the
vertical machines) can be swiveled to distribute the
flow to all types of cutters and are equipped with valves
for regulating the coolant flow. The distributor can
be attached to either overarm on horizontal machines
by means of the coolant distributor support. When used
on vertical machines the distributor is mounted on a
support rod with a compound adjustable clamp. A
similar rod is used to hold the distributor when it is
not in use.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Keep the screen covers on the two openings In
the column base when the machine is used without
coolant.
2. Periodically remove and clean the screens in
these pockets.
3. Use light cutting oils or soluble oil mixtures;
they are equally as efficient as heavy oils.
4. Periodically check the level of coolant in the
reservoir. Fill the reservoir by removing the covers
and adding coolant until the level rises to the screens.
SECTION IV
CONVENTIONAL OPERATION
GENERAL
This section describes conventional operation (in
which the travel of the table is manually controlled by
means of the table feed control lever) of the plain,
universal and vertical machines. See Section V, page
17 for automatic cycle operation with the mono-lever.
Operation of plain and universal machines is identical
except in applications which require swiveling of the
table. For such applications the table on universal
machines can be swiveled approximately 47 degrees in
either direction from the normal position. The table
can be locked in position with five clamp screws on the
2CH machines - two on each end of the saddle and one
on the front. Four clamp screws are used on the lCH
and 2CHL machines.
Instructions for using the dividing head and lead
attachments in spiral milling and indexing operations
will be found in catalog UHS-10.
The main drive motor must be running before any
power movement is possible. To start this motor, see
that the lever on the electrical starter cabinet is set
to the ON position, then push the master start button.
Be sure to push the master stop button whenever the
machine is not to be used for some time.
SPINDLE CONTROL
The spindle is controlled by means of the starting
lever. On horizontal and swivel head vertical machines
the spindle is started by moving the lever to the left
and on sliding head vertical machines by moving the
lever upward. To stop the spindle, move the starting
lever in the opposite direction. The lever on horizontal
and swivel head vertical machines can be placed in
any position through a 300-degree arc merely by
raising it at the hub, rotating it to the desired position
and then lowering it into place. The lever on sliding
head vertical machines can also be located conveniently
for the operator by removing it at the hub and replaCing
it on the serrations as desired.
AUTOMATIC SPINDLE STOP
The 18" -24" AC and 2CH machines can be equipped
with a control which automatically stops the spindle
during rapid traverse table movements and auto-
matically starts the spindle at the start of table feed
in automatic cycle operation. This control, called
the automatic spindle stop, is located on the speed
gear box. The spindle will start and stop automatically
when the knob on the automatic spindle stop is placed
in the ON position. The spindle will run continually
when the knob is in the OFF position. When using
the automatic spindle stop, disengage the starting lever
at the hub and lock it in the disengaged position with
the thumb screw provided. This will prevent move-
ment of the starting lever whenever the spindle
starts or stops in automatic cycle operation.

3hp No.1 Model CH - 3hp No.2 Model CHL - Shp No.2 Model CH Plain - Universal- Vertical
3hp 18"24" Model AC Plain - Milling Machines
SPINDLE REVERSE CONTROL
The direction of spindle rotation can be reversed
as follows:
1. Stop the spindle. Jog the spindle with the starting
lever and push or pull the reverse knob for the desired
rotation. Do not reverse the rotation while the spindle
is running.
2. To disengage the drive to the spindle, set the
knob to the center or neutral position.
SPINDLE SPEED CHANGE CONTROL
The spindle speed is changed as follows:
1. Stop the spindle and withdraw the speed selection
knob on the speed gear box. Do not change speed while
the spindle is running.
2. Rotate the lever and knob until the desired speed
as shown on the speed selection dial lines up with the
RP M plate. Do not use force in rotating the lever. Jog
the spindle with the starting lever while rotating the
lever if the lever does not rotate freely.
3. Insert the knob plunger in the hole provided to
lock the lever in position.
SPINDLE SPEED RANGE CONTROL
(2CH VERTICAL ONLY)
The range of spindle speeds is indicated on the
speed selection dial. The particular speeds which can
be used are controlled by the spindle speed range
control lever. When the lever is set to the SLOW
position, spindle speeds from 25 through 170 RPM
are available. When the lever is in the FAST po-
sition, speeds from 225 through 1500 RPM are
available.
COOLANT PUMP CONTROL
The coolant pump is driven through a manually-
operated clutch either by the feed drive shaft or the
rapid traverse drive shaft. When driven by the feed
drive shaft, coolant will flow only when the spindle is
running. When driven by the rapid traverse drive shaft,
coolant will flow when the drive motor is started
whether or not the spindle is running. The clutch is
secured in the engaged (down) or disengaged (up)
position by a detent and can be shifted merely by
moving itby hand.
The pump is normally driven by the feed drive
shaft. To change the drive, remove the pump cover
plate and move the drive gear to the other side of the
driven gear. Rotate the cover plate end for end and re-
place it on the pump cover. Slip the drive clutch off
the feed drive shaft and catch the spring and two balls.
Insert the balls and the spring in the hole near the
bottom of the rapid traverse shaft and slip the clutch on
the end of the shaft to the disengaged (up) position.
POWER FEED CONTROLS
These machines are equipped with levers for en-
gaging power feed (when the spindle is running) to
all movable units. When power feed is not desired,
move the control lever to the center or neutral po-
sition.
A safety clutch in the feed gear train will slip
automatically to protect the gear train when an over-
load is imposed. Ifthis happens, reduce the feed rate
and replace the cutter ifit has become dull. A safety
clutch in the rapid traverse drive will also slip
automatically if an overload is imposed while the rapid
traverse drive is operating. While these features have
been incorporated to prevent expensive repairs and
lost time, it is still possible to break cutters, bend
arbors and damage gears. Develop the habit, therefore,
of seeing that the correct speed and feed is being
used, that overhanging fixtures do not interfere with
the movement and that the cutter does not engage the
workpiece at the rapid traverse rate.
Power movement of the knee is obtained by means
of the knee feed lever. The knee is fed downward by
moving the lever to the left.
Power movement of the saddle is obtained by means
of the saddle feed lever. The saddle is fed to the rear,
or inward, by moving the lever to the right.
Power movement of the table is obtained by means
of the table feed lever. The table is fed to the right by
moving the lever to the right. The lever can be raised
to prevent interference with a pre-set table dog.
Power movement of the vertical sliding head is
obtained by means of the vertical head feed lever.
The head is fed downward by moving the lever down-
ward.
HAND FEED CONTROLS
These machines are also equipped with handwheels
and cranks for moving the various units by hand. Safety
interlocks are incorporated in these controls to pre-
vent their engagement while power feed is engaged and
vice versa.
Hand movement of the knee is obtained by means
of the knee hand crank. The knee is fed downward by
turning the crank counterclockwise.
Hand movement of the saddle is obtained by means
of the saddle handwheel. The saddle is fed to the rear,
or inward, by rotating the handwheel clockwise.
Hand movement of the table is obtained by means
of the table handwheel. The table is fed to the right by
rotating the handwheel clockwise.
Hand movement of the sliding vertical head is
obtained by means of the head handwheel. The sliding
head is fed downward by rotating the handwheel clock-
wise. The spindle quill on swivel head vertical ma-
chines can be moved through a distance of 3-1/2
inches by means of the quill handwheel. The quill is
fed downward by rotating the handwheel clockwise.
MICROMETER DIALS
Graduated micrometer dials on the handwheels
permit the movable units to be brought to any pre-
determined position. For example, when the desired
position of the table in a setup has been determined,

the handwheel dial can be set to indicate this position
and the table can then always be quickly and accurately
located. The dials can be adjusted by pulling them
outward, rotating them to the desired setting and then
releasing them.
POWER FEED CHANGE CONTROL
The rate of feed movement for the knee, saddle,

I
table and vertical head is indicated in inches per min-
ute and is controlled by the feed selection lever and
knob. To change the feed rate be sure the spindle is
running. Withdraw the feed selection knob, rotate the
lever in either direction until the arrow on the dial
lines up with the desired feed rate. Release the lever
so that the plunger enters the hole provided and locks
the lever in position.
The feed rates and the range of feed rates for the
knee and vertical head are one-half of those shown on
the dial. That is, if the arrow is lined up with 3/8,
the saddle and table will feed at 3/8 inches per minute,
but the knee and vertical sliding head will feed at
3/16 inches per minute.
RAPID TRAVERSE CONTROL
The knee, saddle, table and vertical sliding head
can be moved at the rapid traverse rate when the
motor is running by first engaging the respective
feed lever and then raising the rapid traverse lever.
Refer to Section V, page 18 for instructions on using
rapid traverse control in automatic cycle operation.
TRIP DOGS AND LIMIT STOPS
Adjustable trip dogs are supplied to stop the travel
of the movable units at any point within their range of
travel. The two dogs for the knee are located at the
left rear end of the knee. The two dogs for the saddle
are located at the front and rear of the saddle to the
left of the way. Four dogs are used with the table and
the two dogs used with the vertical sliding head are
t located on the right side of the head. Positive limit
stops are also provided to restrict the total travel of
,
each movable unit.
The four table dogs when properly used insure safe
operation and speed production. Figure 9 illustrates
the manner in which the dogs would be positioned for
a typical setup. After the workpiece has been secured,
the table is moved at the rapid traverse rate (in-
dicated by a full line) until the dog (A) shifts the table
trip lever to the neutral position and stops the table.
This dog must be positioned to stop the table just before
the cutter contacts the workpiece. This prevents any
possibility of the cutter engaging the workpiece when
the table is moving at the rapid traverse rate and still
permits the workpiece to be brought to the cutter in
the shortest possible time. Then, by raising the table
lever to bypass the dog and shifting it in the desired
direction, the table will feed (dotted line). until the
cutting operation is completed and the dog (B) shifts
the lever to neutr?l ~ n stons the table. The table can
then be returned at the rapid traverse rate until the
dog (C) stops the travel to complete the cycle.
Operations in which a workpiece is loaded on each
end of the table can also be safely and quickly per-
formed by properly locating the trip dogs. We recom-
mend that each setup be studied to determine that max-
imum use of the trip dogs is being made .
CLAMPS
Clamps are provided to lock the movable units in
any position within their range of travel. The clamp
levers are serrated so that they can be removed and
reposi tioned if necessary. The knee is locked by moving
the knee clamp lever outward. The saddle is locked
by moving the saddle clamp lever inward. The table is
locked by moving the table clamp lever clockwise.
The vertical sliding head (2CH models) is locked
for normal milling operations by pulling the head
clamp lever forward, toward the operator. For
heavy duty milling, lock the head in pOSition with
the clamp lever and the three nuts, one of which is
on the left and two of which are on the right side
of the head. The spindle quill on swivel head vertical
machines is locked by moving the quill clamp lever
clockwise and the swivel head is locked in place
with the four head locking bolts.
Be sure to clamp all units which will not be moved
during the setup. For example, if a job requires only
table travel, lock the knee, saddle and vertical head.
Release all clamp levers when the job is finished.
MICROMETER STOP RODS
The vertical machines can be equipped with a
single position stop or a four position turret stop
unit to limit the downward travel of the head on
sliding head vertical machines and the spindle quill
on swivel head vertical machines. The preCision
stop screws are set by turning them in or out of
the stop barrel and locking them in place with the
lock nuts and the graduated collars. These collars
are graduated in thousandths of an inch to permit
accurate final setting of the screws.

stops, the dial indicator is used to accurately measure
the final depth of a cut. For example, if a cut .005"
deep is to be made, the sliding head (2CH machines)
can be power fed to trip out within approximately
. 010" of the final setting with proper adjustment
of the stop rod. The final setting is then obtained
by hand -feeding the head while observing the dial
indicator.
The four position turret stop, which can be rotated
by means of the precision stop ratchet lever, permits
up to four settings of the spindle for step milling
operations.
SPEED AND FEED CHARTS
The following three charts are included at the rear
of this manual:
L Rules for determining speeds and feeds.
2. Guide to correct speed selection.
3. Guide to correct feed selection.
We recommend that these charts be used to determine
the proper speed and feed for the particular cutter
and material being used.
ARBOR SUPPORTS AND ARBORS
The arbor supports provide additional support
for extended arbor and arbor assemblies. If the setup
permits the use of only one arbor support, additional
rigidity can be obtained by inverting the other support
and mounting it midway between the column and the
support being used.
When removing or applying arbor supports, extend
one overarm approximately 6 inches beyond the other.
Slide the arbor support first onto the extended over-
arm and then onto the other. Position the arbor sup-
ports and overarms, and then clamp them with the
lock nuts. The adjustable arm feature permits arbor
supports to be handled with a minimum of effort.
The spindle on 2CH machines is equipped with a
No. 50 standard non-sticking steel taper. The spindles
on 1CH,2CHL and 18" -24" AC machines are equipped
with a No. 40 standard taper. The spindle is also
equipped with two keys for driving arbors and cutters.
When removing arbors, first loosen the nut on the
arbor draw-in bolt at the rear of the column on
horizontal machines, and on top of the vertical head
on vertical machines. Then hold the arbor and tap
the draw-in bolt with a soft hammer until the arbor
is loose. Screw the bolt out of the arbor and then
remove it. When installing an arbor, hold it in place
in the spindle taper, engage the draw-in bolt, then
tighten the lock nut.
Observe the following rules when working with
arbors and arbor supports:
1. Tighten or loosen the arbor nut with the arbor
support in place.
2. Be sure arbor nuts are always tight during
operation.
3. Adjust the arbor support bushings to provide
a running fit for arbor bearings.
4. Be sure the arbor diameter is large enough to
withstand the cutting forces which will be encountered.
5. Be sure the cutter-arbor setup runs true over
its entire length.
6. Be sure both spindle keys are seated properly.
5. Keep the spindle, arbors and cutters clean. Even
a particle of dirt can affect the accurate alignment of
the preCision ground surfaces.
8. When face mill cutters are mounted to the
spindle, draw up the retaining screws evenly before
tightening them.
9. Periodically check the oil level in the arbor
support oil sight gauge.
OVERARMS
The arbor supports are mounted on two parallel
overarms which provide accurate alignment and maxi-
mum rigidity for the arbor and cutter assembly. Self-
equalizing overarm clamps are locked and unlocked
by means of clamp nuts.
The position of the overarms on 2CH machines can
be adj usted with the overarm handwheel. The left over-
arm only can be moved by pulling the handwheel out
and rotating it in the direction desired. Both over-
arms can be moved simultaneously by pushing the
handwheel in and rotating it in the direction desired.
The right overarm can not be moved independently.
The overarms on 1CH, 2CHLand 18"-24" AC machines
are moved by pushing them to the desired position.
The double overarms eliminate the necessity of
completely removing the arbor support when replaCing
arbors and cutters. When this is necessary, merely
slide the support onto an extended overarm, swing
the support upward and let it rest on the other overarm.
OUTER ARM BRACE
The outer arm brace is used to tie the overarms
and the knee together for heavy milling operations.
The slots in the brace permit it to be used at various
settings of the knee. To install the brace, proceed as
follows:
1. Mount the arbor supports so that the outer
face is flush with the end of the overarms.
2. Position the overarms so that the arm brace
can be located as close to the saddle as possible.
3. Mount the brace on the knee, bring it into con-
tact with the arbor support and secure it to the arbor
support and knee.
PULLEY BELT ADJUSTMENT
If the pulley belts become loose, adjust them -ts
follows:
1. Loosen the lock nut on the adjustment screw at
the left rear of the motor base and the nut on the lock
screw at the right rear of the base.
2. Lower the base using both screws until the
belts, at a point midway between the pulleys, can be
deflected sidewise by hand approximately 3/4" in
each direction from their normal position. Tighten
the lock nut on both screws to maintain the setting.

Each position of the mono-lever and the corre-
sponding rate and direction of table travel is shown
in Figure 12. The desired position of the mono-lever
in automatic cycle operation is obtained by means of
the dogs which are placed in the T-slots at the front
of the table. The three dogs used and their functions
are as follows:
1. A and B rate dogs - actuate the trip post and
move the mono-lever to either the feed or rapid
traverse position.
2. Reverse dogs -depress the reverse plungers
and reverse the direction of table travel.
3. Stop dogs - actuate the feed trip sleeve and move
the mono-lever to the neutral position to stop the table.
When using automatic cycle operation, be sure to
follow these instructions:
1. Attach the dogs securely to the front of the
table. If the dogs are loose, they will move when
contacting the trip post and reverse plungers.
2. Periodically grease the surfaces of the dogs
which contact the trip post and reverse plungers.
3. Be sure that stop dogs are set ahead of and
in contact with the reverse dogs. If the dogs are
set too far from the reverse dogs, they will move
the trip post and stop the table before the reverse
dogs can depress the reverse plungers.
4. Be sure that the rate dogs are positioned so
that the bolted end is toward the trip post. Use the
upper or lower table slot, whichever is required to
move the trip post in the proper direction.
RATE SElECTOR KNOB
The rate at which the table travels after revers-
ing in automatic cycle operation is controlled by the
rate selector knob. When the knob is set to read
RAPID REV, the table will travel at the rapid traverse
rate after reversal. If the knob is set to read FEED
REV, the table will travel at the feed rate after
reversal.
HANDWHEEl CONTROL OF TABLE
The table on automatic cycle machines can also
be moved by means of the handwheel at the left end of

the table. The handwheel automatically disengages
when the mono-lever is used and can be re-engaged
by setting the mono-lever to the neutral position and
pushing the handwheel hub in to engage the clutch. If
the clutch does not engage easily, rotate the hand-
wheel slightly while pushing the hub in.
Caution When moving the table by hand, be
sure that the dogs at the front of
the table will not contact the reverse plungers
or trip post.
KNEE, SADDLE AND VERTICAL HEAD CONTROL
On 18"-24" AC machines, rapid traverse of the
knee and saddle is obtained by engaging the feed
control lever and then moving the mono-lever out-
ward from the neutral positions (see Figure 12). On
2CH machines rapid traverse of the knee, saddle
and sliding head is obtained by engaging the feed
control lever and then raising the rapid traverse
lever on the right side of the knee.
Caution When rapid traverse mmement is
used, be sure to engage the feed
lever before engaging the rapid traverse
lever. If this is not done) the teeth on the
reverse clutches may be damaged.
PLAIN CYCLE - RAPID TRAVERSE RETURN
In all diagrams of automatic cycle arrangements
which follow, the rapid traverse rate is indicated by
a full line and the feed rate is indicated by a dotted
line. The rate dogs, both types A and B, are indicated
by circled letters,@, and in the diagrams. These
letters are used only to identify the dogs in the il-
lustrations and are not to be confused with the type
of dog.
Figure 13 illustrates the position of the dogs for
table travel which starts to the left. The workpiece
is placed on the right end of the table and the cycle
is started with the table at the right end of travel.
With the selector knob (Figures 10 and 11) rotated
to read RAPID REV, move the mono-lever to the left
and then outward. The table will travel at the rapid
traverse rate until the feed dog @ contacts and de-
presses the trip post. This occurs just before the
cutter contacts the workpiece. The mono-lever will
then shift inward to the feed position and the table
will feed until the reverse dog depresses the right
reverse plunger to change the direction of table travel.
The table will then return at the rapid traverse rate
until the stop dog at the left end of the table moves
the trip plunger to the neutral position and stops the
table. A new workpiece is then put on the table and
the cycle is repeated.
Figure 14 illustrates the position of the dogs for
table travel which starts to the right. The cycle op-
erates the same as the one just explained except that
it is started with the table at the left end of travel
and by moving the mono-lever to the right and then
outward.

Figure 15 shows the position of the dogs for table
travel which starts to the left. The workpieces are
loaded and unloaded while the table is at the right end
of travel. With the selector knob rotated to read
RAPID REV, move the mono-lever to the leftand then
outward. The table will travel at the rapid traverse
rate until the feed dog contacts and depresses
the trip post. This occurs just before the cutter
contacts the workpiece. The mono-lever will then
shift inward to the feed position and the table will
feed to the left until the rapid traverse dog con-
tacts and raises the trip post. The mono-lever will
then shift outward and the table will travel at the
rapid traverse rate until the feed dog contacts
and depresses the trip post. This again occurs just
before the cutter contacts the second workpiece.
The mono-lever will then shift inward and the table
will feed to the left until the reverse dog depresses
the right reverse plunger to change the direction of
table travel. The table will then return at the rapid
traverse rate until the stop dog at the left end of
the table moves the trip plunger to the neutral po-
sition and stops the table. Two new workpieces are
then put on the table and the cycle is repeated.
Figure 16 illustrates the positionof the dogs for
table travel which starts to the right. The cycle
operates the same as the one just explained except
that it is started with the table at the left endof
travel and by moving the mono-lever to the right
and then forward.
CONTINUOUS CYCLE - RAPID TRAVERSE
Figure 17 illustrates the positionof the dogs for
a two-station, high production setup. Since the cycle
is continuous, it can be started with the table at
either the left or right end of travel by moving the
mono-lever to the feed position in the appropriate
direction. In this cycle workpieces are unloaded
and loaded at oneendofthetablewhile the other work-
piece is being milled.
Caution Since the table must reverse only
while it is inthe feed rate and not
while in the rapid traverse rate, thedogsmust
be set so that the table is always in the feed
rate at reversal.
In this cycle the workpieces are conventionally
milled at one end and climb milled at the other. Itis
important, therefore, that the backlash adjustments
outiined in catalog CHI -11 be checked to insure
satisfactory operation.

RESULT: For the 5" diameter face mill cutter with 10 High Speed blades,
m.illing cast iron-
The SPEED dial setting is 61 R.P.M.
The FEED dial setting is 7.32 I.P.M.
NOTE: The speeds and feeds determined by mathematical com-
putation are approximate and dial sellings closest to these
results (either higher or lower) are normally satisJactory
