The carriage allows the cutting tool to move
along the length of the lathe bed. The cross slide
allows the cutting tool to travel perpendicular to
the bed. The carriage features a top slide which
allows linear movement of the cutting tool at any
preset angle. This section will review the individ-
ual controls on the carriage and provide descrip-
tions of their uses.
