Proxxon MP 400 Manuel page 12

To precisely achieve the desired depth for your
profile, the scale ring 2 can be set to zero:
1. Simply turn the hand wheel 1 to set the pro-
filer to a height where it just barely touches
the work piece.
2. Hold the hand wheel and turn the zero posi-
tion of the scale ring to the marking on the
profiling guard. The required profile depth
can now be precisely set with the hand
wheel in compliance with the numerical val-
ues on the scale ring.
Please also note: One full revolution of the hand
wheel corresponds to a traverse path of 1mm,
twisting by one graduation line causes a height
adjustment of 0.2 mm!
Adjusting the longitudinal stop (Fig. 5 and 6):
In the position shown in Fig. 5a, the limit stop is
suitable for manufacturing chamfers or slots in
the front side of strips.
1. Loosen knurled screw 1
2. Turn longitudinal stop 2 to set the desired
distance
3. Retighten knurled screw
If slots or the like will be made in wider strips or
boards, the longitudinal stop can also be mount-
ed in the position as shown in Fig. 5b.
To remount the longitudinal stop, please proceed
as follows:
It may be necessary to remove the guard (Item
3, Fig. 6) for this. To do so, release knurled
screw 4 and pull up the guard to remove.
When replacing the guard, make sure you push
the square nut properly into the rail of the alu-
minium profile so that you correctly "hit" the
hexagon socket head of the spindle in the work
table of the profiling device with the spring-
mounted hexagon at the miller guard!
1. Completely unscrew the knurled screw and
the Allen screw 1 and 2 (Fig. 6) and remove
together with the associated discs and the
bushing.
2. Roughly estimate the distance to the profiler;
the longitudinal stop can be screwed into the
matching threaded holes in the work table in
the position as shown in Item 3. Do not for-

get the bushing and the disc. Do not tighten
the knurled screw at first!
3. Fine adjustment may now be done as de-
scribed earlier under "Adjusting the longitudi-
nal stop".
Angle stop (Fig. 1, Item 13):
This stop can be inserted into the designated
slot; it can be moved back and forth here. To ad-
just, release the knurled nut and turn the plastic
element.
Working with the Micro profiler:
Always wear hearing protection when working!
Never work without the protective device (Item 7,
Fig 1) !
The guard must be adjusted so that it covers the
milling cutter closely over the work piece. Use
extreme care when profiling work pieces over 5
mm height/thickness.
Never reach into the rotating tool!
The work piece must only be so long and wide
so that it still fits on the work table and can be
easily guided (max. approx. 200 mm x 500 mm).
The maximum chip thickness should never ex-
ceed 1 mm.
To manufacture the profile, the work piece is al-
lowed to glide along the limit stop as shown in
as in Fig. 5.
You must make sure that the profiling infeed (the
removal) and the push speed are not too great!
Too much removal and a too great push speed
will lead to bad milling results and strain the ma-
chine mechanics unnecessarily.
Instead, make several operating passes and
readjust the limit stop or the profiling height sev-
eral times.
It is recommended to always work with dust ex-
traction. A rubber suction connection at the rear
of the device has been provided for this pur-
pose. You can easily connect a vacuum cleaner
here.
