LATHE FUNCTIONS, Summing C80 Three Axis Digital Readout System Axis Summing NOTES This function allows the movement of the Z’ axis to be added to the movement of either the X axis or the Z axis. The conventional way to The Summing Function is useful when the compound is set to align with either of those two axes.
LATHE FUNCTIONS, Vectoring C80 Three Axis Digital Readout System Vectoring NOTES This function allows the movement of the X and Z axes to be combined with the angle of the compound. This function is available only on 3-axis units. The conventional way to The Vectoring Function is useful when the compound is set at an angle.
• If you have a Spherosyn scale, check that the scale is not bent, by removing it and rolling it on a flat surface. If the solutions suggested above do not solve your problem, contact Newall for further instruction. CLEANING •...
