Here are some safety instructions for the {{PAGENAME}}. Remember... SAFETY FIRST!!!
* General shop protocol is important when using the mill. Long hair, long sleeves, jewelry, gloves, and lanyards are all risks to be wrapped up by the spindle and should not be worn.
* Always make sure that there is plenty of space between the cutting tool and the work piece before turning on the mill. If the tool comes into contact with the work piece before getting up to speed and is set deeper than the maximum cutting depth, things will break.
* At times your work piece may be obscured by metal chips while cutting. Do not remove them while the machine is running. Turn off the mill, wait till it comes to a complete stop, and then remove the chips. There are some brushes on the tool rack that may be helpful for removing stubborn chips.
* The milling process is great at creating sharp edges. Be aware of this when handling the work piece and make sure to deburr any sharp edges.
* Never make contact with the cutters as they are razor sharp and will cut you.
* Never pass your hand under a cutter.
==Description==
==Description==
This video contains specific information for using the Mills in the Maker Hub as well as a basic overview of what will be expected in your live demonstration. {{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJjXAxYH9TA}}{{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0190xVaZPNw}}'''Note''' that the tool changing system has been upgraded since this video was produced. To insert a cutting tool using the new system, push the collet upwards into the spindle with one hand and then push the quill handle against the end of travel with the other to compress the spring in the tool change mechanism. Make sure the quill lock is unlocked when installing or removing tooling. Pushing up on the quill handle will allow the the tool to slide up into the collet and the tool will lock in place once the handle is lowered. A decent amount of force is required to compress the spring so don't be afraid to push hard. Make sure to push the quill feed handle towards the machine to prevent the handle from disengaging. To release the tool, hold it in one hand while pushing up on the quill handle and then pull it out once the spring is compressed. Never make contact with the cutter while inserting or removing tooling from the spindle.

Here is how you can reset the space for the {{PAGENAME}}. Always reset the space!!!
* At times your work piece may be obscured by metal chips while cutting. Do not remove them while the machine is running. Turn off the mill, wait till it comes to a complete stop, and then remove the chips. There are some brushes on the tool rack that may be helpful for removing stubborn chips.
* Turn off the machine.
* The milling process is great at creating sharp edges. Be aware of this when handling the work piece and make sure to deburr any sharp edges.
* Do not leave any tool within the collet.
* Never make contact with the cutters as they are razor sharp and will cut you.
* Clean and return all tools back to the workbench and/or tool cart.
* Sweep and vacuum the machine.
* Put any unused materials back on the storage shelf and put small pieces in the scrap box.
