Compound Rest
The compound rest handwheel has an indirect-
read graduated scale. This means that the dis-
tance shown on the scale represents the actual
distance the cutting tool moves. The base of the
compound rest has another graduated scale used
for setting the cutting tool to a specific angle.

2. Rotate rest to desired angle, as indicated
by scale at base, then retighten the two hex
nuts.
Tip: The first time you set the angle of the
compound rest for cutting threads, mark the
location on the cross slide as a quick refer-
ence point. This will allow you to quickly
return the compound rest to that exact angle
the next time you need to cut threads.
