Manual Feed

You can manually move the cutting tool around
the lathe by three methods. This section will
review the individual controls on the carriage and
provide descriptions of their uses (see Figure
46).

Figure 46. Carriage Controls.
Longitudinal Handwheel
The longitudinal handwheel moves the carriage
left or right along the bed. This control is help-
ful when setting up the machine for turning or
when manual movement is desired during turning
operations.
Cross Slide Handwheel
The cross slide handwheel moves the top slide
toward and away from the work. Turning the dial
clockwise moves the slide toward the workpiece.
The graduated dial can be adjusted by holding the
handwheel with one hand and turning the dial with
the other.
Compound Slide Handwheel
The compound slide handwheel controls the posi-
tion of the cutting tool relative to the workpiece.
The compound slide is adjustable for any angle
within its range. The graduated dial is adjustable
using the same method as the dial on the cross
slide. Angle adjustment is secured by cap screws
on the base of the compound slide.

Power Feed

NOTICE
Feed rate is based on spindle RPM. High
feed rates combined with high spindle
speeds result in a rapidly moving carriage or
cross slide. Pay close attention to the feed
rate you have chosen and keep your hand
poised over the ON/OFF switch. Failure to
take this precaution can lead to carriage
and chuck crash.
For either cross or longitudinal feed, move the
power feed lever on the apron in the directions
indicated by the placard (Figure 47), and then
move the feed direction lever (Figure 48) to select
feed direction. Remember, all directions reverse
when spindle rotation is reversed. Refer to the
Using the Thread Chart on Page 40 to learn
how to shift the lathe in order to get a specific
feed rate.
