NOTICE
Carriage feed rate is dependent upon the
spindle speed—higher spindle speeds
equal higher feed rates! Pay close atten-
tion to the movement of the carriage or
cross slide and keep your hand poised over
the power feed lever to disengage it when
necessary. Failure to fully understand this
could result in the lathe components crash-
ing into each other causing severe damage
to the lathe.

accurate when the spindle is rotating coun-
terclockwise (toward the operator). As the

power feed.
