ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a quill interlock for a milling machine. Structurally, the present invention includes a clasp or other attachment means attachable to a milling machine. The clasp carries a switch which is activated when the quill of the milling machine reaches a predetermined, user selected, position on the Z-axis. The switch is connected to the computer controlling the milling machine, causing the computer to relocate the milling machine table to a new X and Y location each time the quill is raised to the predetermined position on the Z-axis.
