Frequently Asked Questions - Micromot MP 400 PROXXON

How to adjust the router bit height?

Turn the graduated knob (ill.4): rotate to the right to raise the tool, to the left to lower it. One full turn corresponds to 1 mm, one graduation to 0.05 mm. For optimal precision, set the zero of the graduated ring when the tool just touches the workpiece.

How to replace the profiling bit?

Unplug the device. Use the provided wrench to hold the shaft and loosen the lock nut. Remove the worn tool, insert the collet suitable for the shank diameter, then retighten the lock nut firmly.

What type of vacuum to use?

Connect a standard vacuum cleaner to the rubber suction nozzle (ill.2b). PROXXON recommends the CW-matic which activates automatically when the router is turned on.

What is the maximum rotation speed?

The working speed is fixed at 25 000 tr/min. The profiling bit must be designed to withstand this speed.

How to fix the machine to a workbench?

Use suitable screws in the holes provided at the base of the housing (ill.2). Secure the router to a solid wooden base, itself clamped to the workbench with clamps.

What is the recommended maximum depth of cut?

The depth of cut must not exceed 1 mm. For deeper profiles, make several passes by gradually adjusting the stop or the tool height.

How to use the longitudinal stop?

Loosen the stop knob, set the desired distance from the router bit, then retighten. The stop can be mounted on either side of the table to accommodate different workpiece widths (ill.5).

How to maintain the machine?

The router does not require specific maintenance. Clean it after each use with a vacuum or soft cloth. Always use the dust extraction device.

What protective equipment to wear?

Always wear safety goggles. Use a dust mask when working generating dust and ear protection due to the sound level of 104 dB(A).

How to adjust the stop square?

The stop square is mounted in the groove provided for this purpose. Loosen the thumb screw and slide the square to the desired position, then retighten. Turn the plastic element to adjust the angle if necessary.
