Compound Rest; Tool Post - Grizzly G0602 Owner's Manual

Compound Rest

The compound rest is used to cut tapers on parts
or to set the proper infeed angle when threading.
It may also be used to cut specific lengths longitu-
dinally, when set parallel to the spindle axis.
To set the angular position:
1. Loosen the hex nuts on each side of the com-
pound rest (see Figure 38).

While watching the scale, rotate the com-
pound rest to the desired angular position.
3. Tighten the two hex nuts. Be sure to not over-
tighten, as you may strip threads or crack or
distort the base casting.
