11.5 Powered carriage travel
1. Push lever (B, Fig. 20) to the left and down to
engage crossfeed.
2. Pull lever to the right and up to engage
longitudinal feed.
11.6 Thread cutting
1. Set forward/reverse lever (A, Fig. 20) up or
down depending on the desired direction.
2. Set selector levers (A, B, C, D, Fig. 21) to
desired rate.
Note: For threading, lever (D) will be set at
"C" or "E", depending on desired thread.
3. Push lever (B, Fig. 19) to the right.
4. Engage the half nut lever (C, Fig. 20).
5. To cut inch threads, refer to the feed and
thread tables. The half nut lever and the
threading dial are used to thread in the
conventional manner. The thread dial chart
specifies at which point a thread can be
entered using the threading dial.
6. To cut metric threads, the half nuts must be
left continually engaged once the start point
has been selected and the half nut is initially
engaged (thread dial cannot be used).
11.7 Compound rest
The compound rest is located on top of the cross
slide and can be rotated 360 degrees. Loosen the
two socket head cap screws (A, Fig. 22) on the
compound rest base. There is a calibrated dial in
degrees (B, Fig. 22) below the rest to assist in
placement of the compound to the desired angle.
12.0 Adjustments
After a period of time, wear in some of the moving
components may need to be adjusted:
12.1 Saddle
1. Locate four hex nuts found on the bottom rear
of the cross slide and back off one full turn
each.
2. Turn each of the four set screws with a hex
wrench until a slight resistance is felt. Do not
over tighten these screws.
3. Move the carriage with the handwheel and
determine if the drag is to your preference.
Readjust the set screws as necessary to
achieve the desired drag.
4. Hold the socket set screw firmly with a hex
wrench and tighten the hex nut to lock the set
screw in place.
