Carriage Handwheel
Use the carriage handwheel to move 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
Graduated Dial
Increments ............................... 0.001" (0.025mm)
One Full Revolution ..................... 0.06" (1.52mm)
Use this to move the tool toward and away from
the work. Adjust the position of the graduated
scale by holding the handwheel with one hand
and turning the dial with the other. The cross slide
handwheel has an indirect-read graduated dial.
This means the distance shown on the scale rep-
resents the actual distance the tool moves.

One Full Revolution ..................... 0.04" (1.02mm)
Use this to move the cutting tool linearly along
the set angle of the compound rest. Set the com-
pound rest angle by hand-rotating it and securing
in place with two hex nuts. The compound rest
has an indirect-read graduated dial.
