4. Milling of the Workpieces

The workpieces are to be placed at hand. The workpiece is to put on the feeding table and to push with both hands and under pressure to the unloading table. During pushing the pressure is to shift to the unloading table step by step.

Longer workpieces are to put on with their hollow broad face. First mill both ends until you get a plane surface. Do not put too much pressure on it in order to prevent deflection.

Short workpieces are slided by a feeding device.
