Section 2 INSTALLATION
SETTING UP THE MILL
The PM-727M is shipped in two packing cases, one
for the machine, one for the optional stand. The follow-
ing procedure makes use of an engine hoist, minimum
weight rating 1000 lb.
If this is a stand installation, move the stand to the mill’s
working location. Make sure the back of the column will
be accessible for lubrication (working clearances, Sec-
tion 1).
1. Un-crate the mill. Remove the drill chuck, if tted.
2. Lower the center of gravity by cranking the head-
stock down.
3. Tape cloth padding to the underside of the tilt col-
lar.
4. Run a sling under the padding.
5. Hook the sling to the hoist, but do not lift before
completing the next step.
6. Place a wood stretcher under the headstock to hold
the sling away from the capacitor housing, Figure
2-1.
7. Slowly lift the mill, controlling any tendency for it to
swing as it clears the pallet.
8. Roll the mill to its working location, then lower it into
place, Figure 2-2.
9. Secure the mill to the bench or stand. If this is a
stand installation, use the four bolts supplied. The
front two bolt locations are threaded. Use lock
washers and nuts for the back two.
10. Level the mill using the table surface for reference,
shimming as necessary.
Assembly & cleanup
Unnished metal surfaces may be protected in shipping
by thick grease and/or paper. Carefully remove these
using a plastic paint scraper, disposable rags and a
light-oil such as WD-40.
Oil the ways and leadscrews. Check the headstock sight
glass for oil level.
If necessary, install the X-axis handwheels.
