6-10 Feed Control Lever (#11 on 5HP & #12 on 3HP)
When this lever is moved left it engages over-load clutch on pinion shaft. Clutch
will remain engaged until either quill stop comes in contact with micrometer
adjusting nut (forcing feed control lever to disengage automatically), or lever is
released manually by moving it to the left.
NOTE
The Feed Control Lever’s factory default is to disengage
automatically when the quill stop pushes against the
micrometer adjusting nut or throw adjustment. It may
easily be brought back by regulating the socket set screw
located at the bottom of the tripping rod.

It is used to disengage power feed in either direction as well as acting as a depth
stop when working to a given depth.
6-13 Micrometer Adjusting Nut (#12 on 5HP & #15 on 3HP)
This nut is used for setting depth. Each graduation on nut indicates 0.001”
(0.02mm) and reads directly from the scale mounted along its side. Depths may be
adjusted by setting micrometer nut in conjunction with quill stop.
6-14 Quill Lock (#16 on 5HP & #17 on 3HP):
This is a friction lock to be used when the quill is in a stationary position, such as
for milling. It is recommended this lock be used whenever quill movement is not
desired.
