Reply To: New Mill

David:

I’m ready to start cutting, but I’m not sure about taking out the tapered shank to install my end mill holder. According to the manual, I should insert the spindle sleeve, loosen the draw bar, and tap the tapered shank with a plastic hammer until it breaks free. However, I’ve done that and it doesn’t break free. I don’t want to damage the thing by banging on it too hard, so I’m wondering if the manual is missing some information. I tried tech support, but they’re closed until Monday.

Thanks!
Tom
