HiTorque Mini Mill 3990: FAQs

What does a HiTorque Mini Mill package include? 

Our HiTorque mini mill packages are equipped with all the essential accessories for effective milling and drilling operations, including: 

 

  • Drawbars 
  • Locking pin for the spindle
  • T-slot nuts 
  • Drill chuck arbor
  • Hex, open-end, and spanner wrenches of all sizes

 

In addition to this, we also provide a detailed user guide from Little Machine Shop with each of the mini mill units. 

Can you assemble the LMS 3990 mini mill by yourself? 

Yes, you can. 

 

Unlike its heavy industrial counterparts with complex machining components, the HiTorque mini mill is a very basic and straightforward machine. And that not only makes it simple to use but also easy to assemble. 

 

In fact, the LMS HiTorque mini mill user manual, which is a part of the milling machine package, includes a detailed step-by-step assembly guide.

 

This makes the 3990 mill machine assembly highly DIY-friendly, something you can complete by yourself without any expert assistance. 

How to make a HiTorque 3990 mini mill operational? 

Making a HiTorque milling machine operational is effortless. So much so that your mill should be up and running in three simple steps: 

Step 1: clean the mill up

After you’ve unpacked the mill, you’ll need to thoroughly clean and degrease it. 

 

You see, the LMS mills we ship have a grease coating to make them corrosion-resistant. So, you should wipe this grease layer off, clean the machine surface using paint thinner, and apply an oil coating on it.

Step 2: assemble the mill

Having finished the initial cleanup, you can now assemble the milling machine. 

 

Assembly includes installing the X and Y axis handles on the respective axis wheels, among others. And you can complete this by following the user guide. 

Step 3: mount the mill on a bench

Before you can start running the mill, it’s important that you mount and bolt it atop a compatible bench or worktable. 

 

Running a HiTorque mini mill without mounting and bolting it to the worktable is highly dangerous and poses safety risks. 

 

Thankfully, you need not wait for a machining professional or expert to do the mounting for you. That’s because you can mount the mill with the help of two-three people and by following the user manual. 

How to maintain your LMS mini mill? 

Maintenance is one of the most important aspects of long service life and optimum machining on any mill. 

 

And while the large mills need extensive maintenance, that’s not the case with a HiTorque mini mill from Little Machine Shop, which only needs regular cleaning. 

 

Chip formation during milling is a common issue across mill machines of all sizes, including the HiTorque 3990. And if left unattended, this can damage the machine in the long run. 

 

Nevertheless, you can clean and remove chips off your HiTorque mini mill easily with the help of a 1-inch brush.
