Disregard my comment, I was unaware that the 4700 has a
spindle that moves up and down, unlike the other mini mills where the entire
head moves up and down.
Mike from mikesworkshop has the correct
solution.

Hello Johannas,
?
I'm not familiar with the 4700 mill, but from the photo of it
on the LMS website, there is a column/gib locking lever on the left hand side of
the column. Locking this down should lock the head from moving. Any movement
from vibration of the fine adjust wheel while milling should not matter, and
will not move the milling head.
?
All unused table and head travel
should be locked down prior to milling.

This is the fine-adjuster to LMS 4700
Mill.
Have somebody made a lock for
this?
My adjuster is moving (turning) when I am
milling, and before I am doing something stupid, I want an advice from
you.
Best regards
Johannes
