M1001 6" x 26" Vertical Mill
Although not required, it is recommend that you mount
your new mill to the floor. Because this is an optional
step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting
hardware is not included. Generally, you can either
bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine
mounts. Both options are described below. Whichever
option you choose, it will be necessary to use a precision
level to level your mill (see 6-8).
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs are
two predominate methods for anchoring an object to a
concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options
and methods for mounting your mill and choose the best
that fits your specific application.
Using machine mounts gives the advantage of fast leveling
and vibration reduction. The large size of the foot pads
distributes the weight of the machine to reduce strain on
the floor.

bolt.
7 Typical anchor stud.
NOTICE
Anchor studs, as shown in 7, are stronger and
more permanent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor, which may
cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your
machine at a later point.
