4. Betjeningsvejledning
This section outlines the basic operational procedures for both the lathe and mill functions of the G4015Z.
4.1 Lathe Operations
The lathe function is used for turning, facing, drilling, and threading cylindrical workpieces.
- Montering af emne: Securely mount the workpiece in the 3-jaw chuck or between centers. Ensure it runs true.
- Valg og opsætning af værktøj: Select the appropriate cutting tool for the material and operation. Mount the tool in the tool post, ensuring it is centered to the workpiece.
- Hastighedsvalg: Adjust the spindle speed according to the material and cutting tool. Refer to the speed chart (if provided on the machine or in a separate document).
- Feedengagement: Engage the appropriate feed rate for automatic cutting, or use manual feed for precise control.
- Skæring: Slowly bring the cutting tool into contact with the workpiece. Monitor the cut and adjust as necessary.

4.2 Fræseoperationer
The milling function allows for drilling, end milling, and face milling operations on flat or irregularly shaped workpieces.
- Emne Clamping: Sikkert clamp the workpiece to the milling table using a vise or T-slot clamps.
- Installation af skærer: Install the appropriate end mill or drill bit into the milling head's chuck or collet.
- Hovedjustering: Adjust the milling head height and angle as required for the operation.
- Hastighedsvalg: Set the spindle speed based on the cutter diameter and workpiece material.
- Fræsning: Use the X, Y, and Z axis handwheels to position the workpiece and feed the cutter. Take light cuts to avoid overloading the machine.
