Slides The strong carriage is made from high-quality cast iron. The siling parts are smooth ground. It fits the Vee on the ped without play. The lower sliding parts can be easily and simply adjusted. Because of the substantial length of the carriage, maxi mum contact is obtained.

Tailstock The tailstock slides on a Vee . a nd can be clamped in any position by means of a heavy screw. The tailstock is made from a vibration-free ribbed iron casting. The slideways are fine ground. The tailstock has a heavy duty barrel with inside taper socket MT2 and a gra- duated scale.

Screw Cutting (with change wheels) By changing the combination of gear wheels, it is pos sible to cut metric, inch and module threads. For R. H. threads it is necessary for the carriage to travel in the direction of the headstock (normal rota ting direction of the workpiece with closed half-nut) du ring trial runs.

Choosing the correct operating speed Example: Rough turning of a steel shaft 70kp/mm , shaft diameter 45mm, chosen feed 0,09mm/rev. With these values one can find from the diagram the speed and the maximum permissible cutting depth to be used. The cutting. depth is the amount that the cross slide can be fed relative to the suface of shaft. In the diagram for "Steel up to 70kp/mm tensile strength", going along the line "workpiece diameter 45mm"...

LATHE ACCESSORIES Universal Lathe Chuck, 3 or 4 jaw design Using these Universal Chucks, cylindrical or symme trically profiled work pieces (round stock, triangular, square, hexagonal, octagonal or twelve-cornered stock) can be clamped. NOTE: New lathe chucks have very tightly fitting jaws. This is of vital necessity to ensure accurate clamping and a long service life.

Fixed steady The fixed steady serves predominantly as a support for shafts on the free tailstock end. For many operations the tailstock cannot be used as it obstructs the turning tool or the drilling tool, and therefore must be re moved from the machine.

Re-positioning the Vee-Belt Loosen the screw on top of the headstock and open the cover. When re-positioning the belt it is necessary to slacken the idler. That is achieved by moving the lever in the direction of the headstock. Now the belt can be po sitioned on the required stage.
