Thank you, John.

One question: There are 2 ways to move the z axis. Which should I be using? The drill press like level has a stroke of 55mm. Do I use it if I'm moving less than 55mm?

Wong,
I've read the manual ready when you are.

The "drill press lever" is used mainly for drilling and "rough" settings.

The basic standard way to use this type of Mill is to use the "Fine" adjustment for all Milling operations. Move and lock, then machine.
The spindle is kept short as possible and locked. This will give the maximum rigidity.
Any axis or movement not being used in a particular milling operation should always be locked to achieve the maximum rigidity.
