CINCINNATI NO. 1 TOOLMASTER MILLING MACHINE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Foundations
A special foundation is not required for the No. 1
Toolmaster Milling Machine. Any substantial floor,
wood or concrete, fairly flat and sufficiently sturdy
to hold machines weight (approximately 2500 pounds
will be satisfactory. If installed on an upper floor
place directly over a main beam. Select a zone
free from extraneous vibration.

Lifting Machine
Lifting Machine (Figure 11A)
The machine may be lifted by a crane with a rope
or cable sling around the turret. Have saddle in
inner position and overarm fully retracted and
clamped before lifting. If a wire cable is used to
lift machine, protect any surface contacted by cable
with a leather belt or wood blocks.
Bolting Machine to Floor (Figure TIB)
If you wish to bolt machine to floor notice that cen
ter distances of bolt holes given on "Dimensional
Drawing" are approximated. If the floor is con
crete, drill the bolt holes about 6" in diameter.
Place a large washer on head of hold down bolt,
followed by a short length of 1-1/2"pipe, pass bolts
up through holes in base and secure with a nut at
top. Fill each pipe with dry sand. Lower machine
into place but have it resting on two l"thick boards.
(Tops of pipes around hold down bolts should be
flush with floor.) Fill holes around pipes with quick
drying cement that is thin enough to flow easily.
When cement is dry, remove boards, level machine
and tighten hold down bolts.

Sensitive Spirit Level
Leveling Machine (Figure TIC)
For leveling machine tools a sensitive, graduated
tube spirit level reading to 10 seconds per gradua
tion (.0005" per foot) and provided with a screw
adjustment, is required. A carpenter' s level or
the bulb in a machinists' combination square is not
good enough. Table must be clean and free of
burrs. Place 6" squares of shim stock under the
four bearing pads of base until machine is level in
all directions. Check machine level periodically.
Always handle a precision level by the ends. If it
is grasped at the center, the heat of your hand
around the glass may distort it sufficiently to im
pair the leveling accuracy.
Cleaning
The machine should never be cleaned with the blast
from an air hose as it will drive grit and dirt into
ways and bearings. Use only lint-free rags for
plain surfaces and a stiff bristle brush for corners.
Prevent formation of permanent stain by periodic
cleaning. If machine will remain idle for a long
time, wipe a thin coat of oil over all exposed parts
to prevent rusting.
