6 Accessories
Commercially availabe milling cutters with a maximum shaft dia-
meter of 12 mm and a tool diameter of approx. 40 mm can be used.
For an optimal working result, it is necessary to adapt the milling
cutter as well as the milling parameters (feed, milling depth, rota-
tional speed) to the working conditions and to make a choice from
these. We recommend the milling inserts from our accessories pro-
gram, such as the end mill cutter set (2-5 mm) 24610 or - for lar-
ger work - the end mill cutter set (6-10 mm), article no. 24620.
You will fi nd further suitable milling and drilling tools in PROXXON quali-
ty from our comprehensive program in specialist shops or at www.prox-
xon.com. They will be able to recommend a suitable PROXXON product
for your special application case.
A useful accessory for precisely adjusting the height of the spindle is the
easy to retrofi t fi ne feed (Art. No.: 24 254). A particularly fi ne processing
depth can be adjusted here optionally by handwheel (graduation 1 gra-
duation line = 0.025 mm).
7 Repair and Maintenance
Disconnect the mains plug before all repair and maintenance work!
7.1 Adjusting the play of the cross table or Z carriage
guides
If the guide of a cross table or Z carriage axis develops too much play
after some time, you can readjust the play using the adjusting screw
2 (Fig. 10). To do so, release the counter nuts 1 and evenly turn in
all adjusting screws until the play is eliminated. Then retighten the
counter nuts.
7.2 Lubricating the machine
After use, clean the cross table and milling cutter with a soft cloth or brush.
Then lightly oil the guides and distribute the oil by traversing the table.
Never clean the cross table with compressed air as the guides would be
destroyed by the entering swarf.
To guarantee the long service life of the milling cutter, please comply
with the lubrication schedule in Fig. 11 (A: Oil before beginning any work
/ B: Oil monthly). Only use acid-free machine oil from specialist shops!
7.3 Cleaning and care
Always disconnect the mains plug before any cleaning, adjusting,
maintenance or repair! Risk of injuries!
The machine is primarily maintenance free. For a long service life,
clean the device after every use with a soft cloth, hand brush or brush.
A vacuum cleaner can also be recommended.
