Abstract
A fine feed adjustment adapter for new milling machinery or retrofitted to existing milling machines is used in order to obtain adjustments of between 1/4 and 1/10,000th of an inch along the z-axis. The fine feed adjustment mechanism does not interfere with the preexisting coarse, vertical adjustment arm which is standard on commercial milling machines.
