Training Instructions for Reino

Start with no tool installed Get the demonstration block

Endgoal

Remove tool, install tool, move to place and drill a hole
End goal should be a hole pattern with some spacing (e.g. square 4-hole pattern with 15mm between centers)

Describe what the machine is

Bridgeport knee-stype
X Y Z axis
Spindle
Quill/drilling
Best for drilling holes, then milling
- If just planning to drill, skip the milling part
Check that it's in correct configuration, what needs to be locked, what needs to be unlocked.
PPE: Eyepro always, hearpro sometimes, music never
- Never touch quill when the mill is running
Be aware of chips
- Plastic chip protector

How to turn the mill on

Switch power
Check the E-stop
- E-stop is for emergencies, not for stopping
Turn the spindle on
Check the spindle direction
Switch for the power feed power
- Each power feed has a led to show it's on
Quill locked for milling, unlocked for drilling
- (Touch off for rough leveling, not recommended: inaccurate and rough)
Feed worm for auto-feed quill (advanced feature, later lesson)
- Make sure that quill autofeed does not turn (the thing on the left side must not be spinning)
Low gear vs high gear setting
- Keep the high gear unless you know what you are doing
- Press and turn, rotate the spindle, make sure it locks
Spindle direction
- Low gear changes the spindle direction
- piece of tape hanging off
change the speeds with wheel
- Mention the DRO, explain later when the tool is on

Practical part

Start with installing the tool
- Mention that the taper centers the tool and has to be clean
- Drill chuck
  - !Only for drills, never for mills
  - Install the drill bit
  - Less accurate than collet
  - Use the tool (pin spanner) to tighten
  - ? Mention ISO tapers and how to take the spacer out (will be semi-obsolete in the near future)
- Hold the tool and screw the drawbar
- Stepladder
- Brake the spindle and two-finger tighten
- Remove the tool
  - ? Demonstrate with M12 thread
  - Hold the brake
  - Unlock the drawbar, handtighten back and unscrew half a turn
  - Hold the tool and gentle tap on the bar
  - Firm grip on the tool when unscrewing the draw bar.
- ! Make everyone install move the table and remove the tool.
Controls
- Backlash
- ? What is Z axis backlash direction
Clean the table, vice and parallels
How the vice works
- Removing the pins for more area and cleaning
Install the demonstation block
- Put in the parallels
- Put the block on the parallels
- initial tightening of the vice
- Show how the tapping work with deadblow hammer
- For steel use brass hammer
- Parallels snug
- Tighten
- Hydraulic vise always has jaw lift
? Let the trainees install the part?
DRO
- ! DO NO BREAK THE GLASS SCALES
- Everything has flex, measure the part
- Zero it out
- How to read it
- half digit accuracy
- can't get back to 0.0 due to structural reason
X Y Z locks
! Do not drill into the table
Drill some kind of pattern
- Use the guidelines on the wall
  - Carbide goes fast
- Quill end stop
- Lubricant
  - ! Alcohol strips lubrication and has water, do not use with Reino
- Chip breaking
- Brushing/cleaning/vaccuuming during operations
  - Avoid pressurized air
! Make trainees repeat the drilling

Cleaning up and powering the machine off

Vacuuming
Remove long chips by hand, pliers or chip hook
- If low suction check the hose for blockage
Wipe the floor with a lasta, there will always be chips on the floor
Power off the mill from the on/off switch on the front panel

Reino maintenance

Where to oil
Once the day pull the lever to oil the ways
If the head makes a squaking noise lube the belts
? Oiling the spigot?

Open Questions

- Should there be bough material, for eg making a dice? - How much time for general safety Second course for milling? - Squaring stock - Dial and test indicators - What to do

 - Edge finder
 - Installing collet
 - No climb mill unless you know what to do
 - Face mill
 - Slot milliing

Collet or drill chuck for teaching?

- Start with drill chuck, mention that collet needs
