Use
Cover the machine when not in use. Keep the cover off of the floor and allow coolant to evaporate before covering again.
A resonance sets in when the variable frequency drive is set to around 50-65%.
A red dot indicates a setting that can only be changed when the lathe is off.
Speeds and feeds
For safety and best results, familiarize yourself with the appropriate feeds and speeds for the material you're working on and the operations you intend to do. Several copies of Machinery's Handbook, the authoritative resource, are on the shelf above the Bridgeport knee mill. Even old editions are just fine for most materials and operations.
Authorization
Contact Anna Yu for authorization. Their contact information is on the side of the lathe.
Individuals must bring 1" diameter x 6" 6061 aluminum round for the Clausing authorization. Aluminum stock can be purchased from Mcmaster Carr (www.mcmaster.com) part number 8974K13
This tool requires Tier 1 Cold Metals Authorization
Due to the complexity of the machine, individuals requesting for authorizations must either have prior metal lathe experience or have a project that would require the use of the machine within two weeks of the given authorization.
