MILLPWR ®
Disengaging the Z-axis Drive System (Rotary Encoder)
MILLPWR provides you with the flexibility to switch between two-
axes and three-axes operation.
To disengage the Z-axis drive system from your MILLPWR
system:
• Leave the “Begin” field blank when you program a step
or a one-time milling function.
• Raise the quill, then loosen the quick release knob
located on the front of the Z-axis drive system.
• When you run the program step or one-time milling
function, you will be prompted to manually position
the quill.
To re-engage the Z-axis drive system, lift the quill handle until you
feel the drive assembly become seated, then tighten the quick release knob.
