Setting Power Feed Rate
The feed rate chart (see Figure 68 on previous
page for location) displays the settings for the
headstock feed controls for feed rates.
Examining the chart, you will see a series of
boxes separated by slashes. The top number is
the carriage feed rate, the bottom number is the
cross-slide feed rate, as shown in Figure 70.
Cross-Slide Feed
Rate
Figure 70. Cross slide and carriage feed rates.
Using the controls on the lathe, follow along with
the example below to better understand how to
set the lathe for the desired power feed rate.
To set cross-slide power feed rate of 0.0018
in./rev.:
1. Locate the box on the feed rate chart that lists
0.0018 in./rev., as shown in Figure 71.

2. Locate the applicable end gear on the chart—
in this case it is the 60T gear.
3. Install the 60T gear in the upper "a" position
so it meshes with the 127T gear (refer to
Power Feed Configuration on the next page
for details).
4.
Position the gearbox dials as directed by the
chart shown in Figure 72. Be sure to point
the top right dial to "N" select the fed rod and
disengage the leadscrew. If necessary, use
the chuck key to rock the spindle back and
forth to help mesh the gears.
Note: During all power feeding operations,
the top right dial is set to "N" so the feed rod
is selected.
