proper operation of the equipment or a situation that may cause
damage to the machinery.
NOTICE
SAFETY
OWNER’S MANUAL.
Read and understand this
owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY.
Untrained operators
have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only
allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used,
disconnect power, remove switch keys, or
lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized
use—especially around children. Make
workshop kid proof!
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered,
or have poor lighting. Operating machinery
in these areas greatly increases the risk of
accidents and injury.
MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED.
Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of
machinery. Never operate under the influence
of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when
distracted.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can
be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow an
electrician or qualified service personnel to
do electrical installation or repair work, and
always disconnect power before accessing or
exposing electrical equipment.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect
machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing
machine. This eliminates the risk of injury
from unintended startup or contact with live
electrical components.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating
or observing machinery to reduce the risk of
eye injury or blindness from flying particles.
Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety
glasses.
Standard Machinery Safety Instructions
For Your Own Safety,
Read Manual Before Operating Machine
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the
safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by
themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention mea-
sures—this responsibility is ultimately up to the operator!
SAFETY
Standard Machinery Safety Instructions
-7-
M1111 Mill with Dovetail Column
SAFETY
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel, or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back
or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to
avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss
of workpiece control.
HAZARDOUS
DUST. Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of
dust hazards associated with each workpiece
material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION.
Always wear hearing
protection when operating or observing
loud machinery. Extended exposure to this
noise without hearing protection can cause
permanent hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS.
Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys,
wrenches, or any other tools on machine.
Always verify removal before starting!
INTENDED USAGE.
Only use machine for its
intended purpose—never make modifications
without prior approval from Woodstock
International. Modifying machine or using
it differently than intended will void the
warranty and may result in malfunction or
mechanical failure that leads to serious
personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS.
Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand
positions that make workpiece control difficult
or increase the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS.
Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work
area. Stop using machine if they become a
distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS.
Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris—make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It
will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may
occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE.
Unexpected movement during
operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine
is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk
of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away. Never leave machine
running while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to
keep machine in good working condition. A
machine that is improperly maintained could
malfunction, leading to serious personal injury
or death.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
machine for any condition that may affect
safe operation. Immediately repair or replace
damaged or mis-adjusted parts before
operating machine.
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting
cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the
cord may damage the wires inside, resulting
in a short. Do not handle cord/plug with wet
hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away
from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh
chemicals, and wet/damp locations.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the
intended operation, stop using the machine!
Contact Technical Support at (360) 734-3482.

SAFETY
Additional Safety for Milling Machines
UNDERSTAND
ALL CONTROLS. Make sure you
understand the function and proper use of all
controls before starting. This will help you avoid
making mistakes that result in serious injury.
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT.
DO NOT wear loose
clothing, gloves, or jewelry, and tie back long
hair. Keep all guards in place and secure.
Always allow spindle to stop on its own. DO
NOT stop spindle using your hand or any other
object.
WEAR FACE SHIELD
. Always wear a face shield in
addition to safety glasses. This provides more
complete protection for your face than safety
glasses alone.
USE
CORRECT SPINDLE SPEED. Follow recom-
mended speeds and feeds for each size and
type of cutting tool. This helps avoid tool
breakage during operation and ensures best
cutting results.
INSPECT CUTTING TOOL.
Inspect cutting tools
for sharpness, chips, or cracks before each use.
Replace dull, chipped, or cracked cutting tools
immediately.
PROPERLY SECURE CUTTER
. Firmly secure cutting
tool or drill bit so it does not fly out of spindle
during operation.
POWER DISRUPTION.
In the event of a local power
outage during operation, turn spindle switch
OFF to avoid a possible sudden startup once
power is restored.
The primary risks of operating a mill are as follows: You can be seriously injured or killed by getting
clothing, jewelry, or long hair
entangled with rotating cutter/spindle. You can be severely cut or
have fingers amputated from contact with the
rotating cutter. You can be blinded or struck by
broken cutting tools, metal chips, workpieces, or adjustment tools thrown from the rotating
spindle
with great force
. To reduce your risk of serious injury when operating this machine, completely
heed and understand the following:
CLEAN MACHINE SAFELY. Metal chips or shavings
can be razor sharp.
DO NOT clear chips by hand
or compressed air that can force chips farther
into machine—use a brush or vacuum instead.
Never clear chips while spindle is turning.
SECURE WORKPIECE TO TABLE. Clamp workpiece
to table or secure in a vise mounted to table,
so workpiece cannot unexpectedly shift or spin
during operation. NEVER hold workpiece by
hand during operation.
PROPERLY MAINTAIN MACHINE. Keep machine in
proper working condition to help ensure that
it functions safely and all guards and other
components work as intended. Perform routine
inspections and all necessary maintenance.
Never operate machine with damaged or worn
parts that can break or result in unexpected
movement during operation.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. To reduce risk of
electrocution or injury from unexpected start-
up, make sure mill/drill is turned OFF, dis-
connected from power, and all moving parts
have come to a complete stop before changing
cutting tools or starting any inspection, adjust-
ment, or maintenance procedure.
REMOVE CHUCK KEY & SPINDLE TOOLS. Always
remove chuck key, drawbar wrench, and other
tools used on the spindle immediately
after use.
This will prevent them from being thrown by
the spindle upon startup.

ELECTRICAL
ELECTRICAL
The machine must be properly set up
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT
connect this machine to the power
source until instructed to do so later in
this manual.
Incorrectly wiring or grounding this
machine can cause electrocution, fire,
or machine damage. To reduce this risk,
only an electrician or qualified service
personnel should do any required
electrical work on this machine.
NOTICE
The circuit requirements listed in this
manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—
where only one machine will be running
at a time. If this machine will be
connected to a shared circuit where
multiple machines will be running at the
same time, consult with an electrician
to ensure that the circuit is properly
sized for safe operation.
Circuit Requirements
This machine must be connected to the correct size and
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-
load current drawn from the machine for an extended
period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
Circuit Requirements for 110V
This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply
circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following
requirements:
Circuit Type ...................... 110V, 60 Hz, Single-Phase
Circuit Size ............................................. 15 Amps
Plug/Receptacle .................................... NEMA 5-15
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine
draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines
with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the
largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices
that might operate at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating at 110V .................. 12 Amps
-10-
M1111 Mill with Dovetail Column
ELECTRICAL
Grounding Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain
types of
malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current
to travel—in
order
to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire
will
increase
the risk of electric shock. The wire with green
insulation
(with/without yellow stripes) is the equipment-
grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the power
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if
you do not understand these grounding requirements,
or if
you are in doubt about whether the tool is
properly grounded.
If you ever notice that a cord or
plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and
immediately replace it with a new one.

DO NOT modify the provided plug or
use an adapter if the plug will not
fit the receptacle. Instead, have an
electrician install the proper receptacle
on a power supply circuit that meets
the requirements for this machine.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord with
this machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which
may damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords
and smaller gauge sizes (higher gauge numbers indicate
smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a
ground wire
, match the required
plug and receptacle, and
meet the following requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size at 110V ...................... 14 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ................50 ft.
For 110V Connection
This machine is equipped with a power cord with an
equipment-grounding
wire and NE M A 5-15 grounding
plug
(see figure). The plug must only be inserted into
a matching
receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning
product you use and make sure you work in a
well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to
toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
• Disposable rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1.
Put on safety glasses.
2.
Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it
soak for 5–10 minutes.
3.
Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/
degreaser is effective, the rust
preventative will wipe off easily. If you
have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as
much as you can first, then wipe off the
rest with the rag.
4.
Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a
quality metal protectant to prevent rust.
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may
damage painted surfaces.

M1111 Mill with Dovetail Column
SETUP
Bench Mounting
Four leveling feet have been included with your mill.
However, for greater safety and better performance, your
mill should be bolted to a workbench to provide maxi-
mum rigidity and safety.
Secured Mounting
To mount the mill to the workbench, do these steps:
1. Determine the best position for the mill on the work-
bench.
Note: For the best performance, make sure the
cross feed and the longitudinal handwheels extend
out beyond the edge of the table surface. This will
allow unrestricted handwheel operation.
2. Mark your hole locations using the mounting holes in
the base as a guide.
3. Drill the holes needed in the workbench.
4. Place a precision level on the mill table and shim
the mill until it is level side-to-side and front-to-
back.
5. Using appropriate power lifting equipment, place the
mill on the workbench.
6. Bolt the mill base to the top of the workbench
(Figure 6).
Unsecured Mounting
To setup the mill for temporary mounting, do these
steps:
1. Using appropriate power lifting equipment, tilt the mill
and install the four feet into the base.
2. Place the mill on the workbench.
3. Place your precision level on the mill table.
4. Loosen the hex nut(s), as shown in Figure 7, and turn
the feet until the mill is level side-to-side and front-to-
back.
5. Retighten the hex nuts.

SETUP
Test Run and Spindle
Break-In
The Model M1111 spindle speed can be set from 100–1750
RPM. You must follow the proper break-in procedures to
ensure the spindle bearings break-in and seat before put-
ting a load on the machine.
To test run and break-in the spindle bearings, do these
steps:
1. Do all lubrication procedures highlighted in
Lubrication in MAINTENANCE on Page 24.
2. Make sure there are no obstructions around or under-
neath the spindle.
3. Remove the drawbar if there is no arbor or collet in
the spindle.
4. Make sure all switches are OFF and connect the mill to
the power source.
5. Turn the main power switch ON, and push the START
button on the control panel. The spindle will begin to
turn at a low RPM.
6. Now push the
+
button until the mill reaches approxi-
mately 600 RPM, then let it run for a minimum of 10
minutes.
—If you suspect the mill is not working correctly,
shut the mill OFF, disconnect it from power, and
use the Troubleshooting table on Page 25 to cor-
rect the problem before proceeding further.
—If the mill is running smoothly, proceed to Step 7.
7. Increase the speed to 1000 RPM and let it run for
another ten minutes.
8. Increase the speed to 1750 RPM and let it run for
another ten minutes.
9. Turn the mill OFF.
10. Set the spindle to rotate in the opposite direction,
and let it run at 1750 RPM for another ten minutes.

Spindle Height Control
Figure 9. Spindle controls.
Quill Lock Lever
Spindle height is changed by unlocking the quill lock
and using the down feed handles or the fine feed knob
(Figure 9). The digital spindle height readout indicates
the spindle height.
To change the spindle position, do these steps:
1. Unlock the quill lock lever and loosen the fine feed
lock knob.
Note: Use the comfort lever (Figure 9) for addi-
tional leverage to unlock the fine feed lock knob if
the knob is too tight. Do not use the comfort lever
to tighten the knob.
2. Pull down on the quill feed levers to lower or raise
the spindle. Lock the quill lock to hold the spindle in
a particular position if you choose.
Note: Milling with the quill fully extended, can
cause tool chatter. For maximum spindle rigidity
when milling, lower the headstock, keep the spin-
dle retracted completely with the quill lock lever
locked, and the fine feed lock knob tightened.

Table Travel
(X-Axis and Y-Axis)
Longitudinal Feed
The longitudinal feed, or X-axis is moved by the
handwheel shown in Figure 10 at the end of the table.
The handwheel will move the table in both directions
side-to-side. One complete revolution of the handwheel
moves the longitudinal feed 0.100". There is also a scale
on the front of the table for use when a tight tolerance is
not required. The longitudinal feed can be locked in posi-
tion by a table lock located on the front of the table (see
Figure 11).
Cross Feed
The cross feed or Y-axis in Figure 10, is moved with the
handwheel on the front of the table base. One complete
revolution of the handwheel moves the cross slide 0.100".
The cross feed can be locked into position by a table lock
located on the right side of the cross slide underneath the
table (see Figure 11).

Figure 13. Z-axis control.
Headstock Travel
(Z-Axis and Rotation)
Headstock height is adjustable in the vertical Z-axis to
accept large workpieces. For unique milling operations,
the headstock can be tilted right or left between 0° and
90°. Your mill has a dovetailed slide that allows you to
reposition the headstock and change tooling without los-
ing your alignment with a hole or milling path.
To raise or lower the headstock, do these steps:
1. Unlock the headstock slide lock lever shown in
Figure 12.
2. Turn the Z-axis handwheel shown in Figure 13 to
raise or lower the headstock, then lock the head-
stock slide lock lever.
Note: Milling with the quill fully extended, can
cause tool chatter. For maximum spindle rigidity
when milling, lower the headstock, keep the spin-
dle retracted completely with the quill lock lever
locked, and the fine feed lock knob tightened.
To tilt the headstock to the left or right, do these
steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE MILL FROM POWER!
2. Using a 17mm wrench, loosen both headstock tilt
lock nuts (Figure 14).
3. Insert a 6mm hex wrench into the index pin release
port (Figure 14), and turn the hex wrench clockwise
to disengage the spring-loaded index pin from the
headstock.
4. While watching the tilt scale, rotate the headstock
to the required angle, and retighten the tilt lock
nuts to hold the headstock in place.
Note: The index pin is spring loaded and serves
only as a quick way to return the headstock close
to zero. It is not intended to be an absolute zero
degree stop. No other index holes exist at other
angles in the headstock.
