5.5.4 The machine is performing poorly
If the machine is performing poorly, check the following:
1. The tool is installed correctly (Section 3.11 on page 47).
2. The machine is tight to the chuck and the mount (for ID chuck, see Section 3.6
on page 32; for OD mount, see Section 3.13 on page 53; for surface mount, see
Section 3.13 on page 53).
3. The turning arm clamp screws are tight (Figure 3-26 on page 44).
4. The gib screws on the radial slide and the tool head are adjusted correctly
(Section 5.3.8 on page 66) and the axis that is not being used is locked using
the handle.
5. The tool head is tight and the adjustable clamp on the tool head (Figure A-6 on
page 86) is locked on the axis that is not being used (Section 3.11 on page 47).
6. The tool head swivel is tight (Figure 3-30 on page 47).
7. The cutting tool or insert is sharp and has the correct geometry for the material
and type of cut.
8. The speed and feed rates are set correctly. If necessary, experiment with differ-
ent speeds and feed rates. Typically, slower speeds and shallower cuts produce
less tool chatter.
5.5.5 The machine is not cutting flat
If the machine is not cutting flat, do the following:
1. Before making a critical finish pass, run the machine continuously for at least
15 minutes to check that the machine is warmed up to operating temperature.
2. Check the machine for level (for ID chuck, Section 3.6 on page 32; for OD
mount, Section 3.7.5 on page 41; for surface mount, Section 3.8.3 on page 43).
3. Tram the turning arm as necessary (Section 5.3.10 on page 66).
5.6 DECOMMISSIONING
Do the following to decommission the FF6300 before disposal:
1. Remove the sight glass from the main body and drain the oil from the drive for
disposal or recycling through appropriate channels and according to local regu-
lations..
2. Remove the top plate from the main drive assembly (Figure A-8 on page 88).
3. Dispose of or recycle machine parts according to local regulations.
