If manual machining is your preference there are few accessories more
convenient than a power feed. Here we will show you how to install the
power feed on your Industrial Hobbies Mill. We get all our power feeds Complete with everything you will need from Shar Tool.. PART 1

 |
Here are the contents of the power feed box. |
 |
Start by removing the the handwheel from the left hand side of the mill. |
 |
Once remove simply put the included drive gear on the lead screw.
|
 |
Loosely bolt the power feed to the mounting bracket.
|
 |
Set the entire feed over the edge of the table. A clamp comes in handy right about now. |
 |
Tighten the mounting bolts. |
 |
Once mounted, you will need to align the the two drive gears, just wiggle it about until they line up. |
 |
Once aligned, tighten the mounting bolts. |
 |
Now you will need to adjust the height of the feed so the
gears mesh properly. Loosen the bolts (one on the other side too) and
slide the entire unit down until everything feels good.

 |
Tighten the bolts. |
