Over-extending a cutting tool from the
tool post will increase the risk of tool
chatter, breakage, or tool loosening during
operation, which could cause metal pieces
to be thrown at the operator or bystanders
with great force. DO NOT extend a cutting
tool more than 2.5 times the width of its
cross-section (e.g., 2.5 x 0.5" = 1.25").
2.
Firmly secure the cutting tool with both tool
post screws.
3.
Check and adjust the tip of the cutting tool
to the spindle centerline, as instructed in the
next subsection.
