Operation

The cutting angle is correct when the cutting edge

is in line with the center axis of the work piece. The

correct height of the tool can be achieved by

comparing the tool point with the point of the center

mounted in the tailstock. The correct tool height can

be obtained by using shims under the tool (Figure

13).

When turning, the tool has a tendency to bend

under pressure. For best results, tool overhang

should be kept to a minimum of 3/8" or less.

Apron travel, cross travel, and top slide handwheels

can be operated for longitudinal or cross feeding

(Figure 14).

To use automatic

feed, establish the gear

combinations as needed, then move lever (A,

Figure 15) to engage feed.
