End Gears
The end gears must be correctly setup for power
feed and threading. Use the photo below to
identify the A, B, C, and D change gears, which
are also referenced on the headstock feed rate
gear chart.

The following subsections explain how to config-
ure the end gears, which are accessed by remov-
ing the end cover.
Power Feed Configuration
The end gears are preset by the factory in this
configuration, which is only used for power feed-
ing. Mesh the top 20T A gear with the 80T B gear,
and mesh the 20T C gear with the 80T D gear
(see Figure 55).

Primary Threading Configuration
A (20T)
D (80T)
This threading configuration is used for inch and
metric threading. Mesh the A, B, and D gears, as
B (80T)
shown in Figure 56. The C gear does not mesh
with any other gears in this configuration, so it is

not important which gear is installed in the C posi-
tion. The B and C gears share a keyed bushing.

Secondary Threading Configuration
A
This threading configuration is used for a different
range of threads and feed rates than the primary
threading configuration. Mesh the A and B gears,

and mesh the C and D gears, as shown in Figure
57. The B and C gears share a keyed bushing.
