+====== Manual Mill (JET) Clearance ======
+{{section>tools:clearance_template&noheader&nofooter}}
+====== Tool Specific Instruction ======
+===== Point out the following tool features =====
+  * Maintenance Tag
+  * Basic Milling principals:
+      * Climb vs conventional milling.
+      * Work vs work-holding
+      * Spindle RPM vs Feed SFM
+      * Relative cutting rate of steel (slow) vs aluminum (fast).
+      * Tram
+      * Measuring Equipment (calipers, micrometers, scales or rulers, dial indicators, edge finder.
+  * Basic Machine Components and Controls:
+      * On/off
+      * Spindle Brake
+      * Speed control
+      * FWD/Rev
+      * Collet draw bolt
+      * DRO
+      * Bed
+      * High/ Low Gear
+      * Oil Pump
+      * Deburring
+  * X Motion Controls:
+      * Manual wheel
+      * Axis Lock
+      * Ways
+      * Power feed
+  * Y Motion Controls:
+      * Ways
+      * Manual Wheel
+      * Axis Lock
+  * Z Motion Controls:
+      * Z-Axis Cranks
+      * Axis Lock
+===== Identify & mitigate common hazards =====
+  * Metalworking when done properly is much quieter than woodworking.
+  * Knows the common causes of noise and which hazards they indicate (vibration, deflection, dull tooling).
+  * Heavy things – tooling, work holding equipment & workpieces.
+  * Sharp things - cutting tools, chips, burrs on work piece.
+  * Spinning things – spindle, axis wheels.
+  * Hot things - chips, work piece, tools.
+  * Toxic Fumes - avoid prohibited metals.
+  * Hot flying debris - use appropriate tools, work holding, and clear work area.
+  * Fire/Gas Leak - stay vigilant (listen/smell test), use ignition button correctly.
+===== Allowable Materials =====
+  * Can name one common material that is safe for use on the mill.
+  * Can name one material that is not allowed on the mill.
+===== Safe Setup/Operation/Cleanup =====
+  * Demonstrates proper work-holding with vise, clamps.
+  * Demonstrates proper feed and speed selection.
+  * Demonstrates proper cutting tool selection.
+  * Demonstrates proper mounting of cutting tool in collet.
+  * Demonstrates facing, drilling, profile cutting.
+  * Demonstrates edge finding.
+===== Knowledge and Technique =====
+  * Knows and demonstrates proper PPE.
+  * Demonstrates how to properly use the power feed.
+  * Demonstrates proper protocol in the event that the machine breaks.
+  * Demonstrated proper cleanup.
+  * Demonstrates what to check on if the Mill is making a lot of noise.
+  * Demonstrates how to change settings to ensure best quality cuts.
+  * Demonstrates how to properly use the gear speed lever and the speed control.
+  * Knows the most notable aspect of the edge finder.
+  * Knows what a boring bar is used for.
