Frequently Asked Questions - GDM 1000 GUDE

How to adjust the spindle speed?

The speed is adjusted via the electronic variator located on the right side of the machine. Turn the knob to increase or decrease the speed displayed on the integrated screen. Consult the manual for recommended speed ranges according to the material.

What type of lubricant to use for the guides?

Use a machine tool guide lubrication oil, type ISO VG 32. Apply a few drops to the guides and lead screw after each intensive use. Do not use grease.

How to change a milling cutter?

Disconnect the machine from the power supply. Open the protective cover. Use the supplied key to loosen the clamping collet. Insert the new milling cutter and tighten firmly. Close the cover before restarting.

What to do if the machine does not start?

First check the power cable and socket. Make sure the emergency stop button is not pressed. If the problem persists, check the internal circuit breaker. If nothing works, contact after-sales service.

How to clean the milling machine after use?

Use a brush or vacuum to remove metal chips. Wipe surfaces with a soft dry cloth. Apply a rust inhibitor to unpainted metal parts. Never use harsh solvents.

What are the essential safety instructions?

Always wear safety glasses and gloves. Do not wear loose clothing. Use the protective cover during operation. Ensure the workpiece is properly clamped. Never leave the machine unattended while it is on.

How to align the work table?

Use a dial indicator to check the parallelism of the table relative to the spindle. Adjust the adjustment screws located under the table to correct the angle. A rotation of 0.1 mm per graduation of the screw.

Can the GDM 1000 be used to machine steel?

Yes, with suitable cutters and at low speed (about 500 rpm). Take shallow passes (max 1 mm) and use cutting lubricant to avoid overheating.

Where to find spare parts for this model?

Spare parts are available from Güde after-sales service or on the official website. To order, have the serial number (on the nameplate). Main parts such as collets, belts and bearings are in stock.

What is the warranty of the milling machine?

The Güde GDM 1000 comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty (parts and labor). Online warranty registration is recommended. The warranty does not cover normal wear or damage due to improper use.

Transportation and Storage

Units out of use should be stored in a dry locked room.

Inspection and Maintenance Safety Instructions

The machine will serve as a sufficient aid only if maintained and care for appropriately. Insufficient maintenance and care may result in accidents and injuries.

Assembly

Stand

Assemble the stand according to the figure (Fig. 3). Take care that screws are not tightened at the same time. Thus it is easier to position mounting holes and fix the screws. (See the following schematic drawing)

Introduction

On principle, short-fibred harder wood stored in a dry place is more suitable than long-fibred soft fresh wood. Wood from fruit and leafy trees and walnut trees are very suitable. Prepare the wood preferably by saw cutting for the thickness later required (possibly also by splitting). It should be stored without sun radiation in a dry and properly ventilated room.

Approximate rule for wood drying: for the thickness of 1 cm = 1 year.

Thus one can avoid wood cracking by far.

PREPARATION

Unmachined pieces or wood to be turned must be balance centred between carrying side (machine side) and the side of collateral run (tailstock) to avoid accidents as a result of possible tearing the workpiece off during machining! Pay attention using roundwood or timber coming in parallel direction if possible.

Determine the centre of your unmachined piece by drawing whilst determining the centre using a pin or marking awl and using the ruler or centring angle (available as optional accessory). (Fig. 4)

Basic terms

Roughing: Thick and strong removal of workpiece material to form a rough contour (revolutions 800-1500 rev/min.).

Smoothing: Tiny, fine chip removal to produce fine contours (revolutions 1500-2000 rev /min.).

Grinding: Final working up the workpiece using abrasive rope or paper (revolutions 0-2000 ot./min.).

Polishing: working up the workpiece using a cloth or fleece with allowance of polishing agents – pastes, oils, agents for wood treatment or greases (available as optional accessory.

Attention!

Pay more attention to machining of a workpiece with grinding and polishing agents due to adhesive forces generated on instruments!

E.g.: Risk of accident resulting from captured and torn off cloth, fleece etc.

Assembled lathe with stand (Fig. 1).

Finally assembled lathe with clamped copying template (Fig. 5).

COPYING ARM INSTALLATION

Insert the copying arm between both holding butt straps located at the slide and shift the joint pin (item 73) to the bearing opening. Tighten nuts at both sides (Fig. 6)

ATTENTION: Do not tighten too firmly, the arm should stay movable.

SLIDING WHEEL INSTALLATION

Shift the sliding wheel to the sled axis.

Securing is done using the Allen screw at the circumference of the sliding wheel (Fig. 7).

TOOL SUPPORT INSTALLATION

Mount the supporting tool holder and base plate to the machine bed and tighten. (Fig. 8) Then the tool support is fixed by clamping bolt in the supporting carrier of the tool (Fig. 9). Place the tool support as close to the workpiece as possible.

Attention!

The workpiece must not be in contact with the tool support during turning. Turn the workpiece by hand before you start the work to ensure it runs freely.

Turning

REVOLUTION ADJUSTMENT

Thanks to the special gearbox with variable belt pulleys the machine revolution can be adjusted continuously allowing exact analogue adjustment of revolutions being indicated in digital form at the gearbox. (Fig. 10)

Revolution adjustment must be performed on running machine to avoid the damage of the belt gearbox.

Roughing: 800-1500 U/min.

Smoothing: 1500-2200 U/min.

Attention!

Always lower the machine revolutions to the minimum value before its stopping; its starting again will be made much easier thus.

Roughing and smoothing: lay the turning chisel – see the figure – down on the tool support holding it with both hands firmly and safely and take care that chip removal takes place at the central axis height and sufficient stressing angle is available (see schematic drawing). Use only exactly sharpened and sharp turning tools. (Fig. 11).

CARRYING POINT REMOVAL

To remove the carrying point, direct the ejecting broach from the left side of the machine through the spindle hole (Fig. 12) and strike the carrying point strongly from the cone (this also holds for all clampable tools with conical grip MK2).

TURNING WITH FACE PLATE

To turn plates or bowls, remove the carrying point (Fig. 12) and turn the face plate onto the spindle thread.

ATTENTION: Secure well using both bifurcated wrenches that are part of the delivery!

TIP: The unmachined piece should be cut longer than necessary and fixed to the face plate with screws. (Fix it in the centre to avoid improper balancing!)

Copying turning

For copying, the copying arm must be installed between the tailstock and the carrying point. To place the copying device between the tailstock and the carrying point or face plate, the gripping screws on the tailstock must be dismounted (Fig. 14) and the tailstock must be removed.

Now the gripping plate should be split by loosening both screws (Fig. 15). Having done this, the plates are to be removed (Fig. 16), again replaced behind the copying arm, and the tailstock reinstalled.

The copied original will be clamped between the centring points of the copying grips. Now the moving in (holding-down pressure of the copying arm) can be adjusted using the stressing screw (Fig. 17).

The copying tool should be set to the largest diameter. The workpiece is then moved along the whole length of the copying pattern uniformly until any chip removal occurs. Copying tools are adjusted by turning the hand wheel and secured by clamping screw until the required contour or required diameter is attained (Fig. 18).

Template turning

Copying templates can be made of various materials; veneered plywood is perfectly suitable. The template is similar to the contour of the piece to be turned (Fig. 19).

To use the copying template as a pattern, lift the holding device up and secure it between the centring points of the copying grips (Fig. 20).

Loosen the clamping screws of the holding lath (Fig. 21) to allow stretching the template. During turning, the template is moved along as often as required until the contour is formed at the workpiece.
