Additionally, the compound slide feed handle (13) may be used to move the
tool by small amounts at right angles to the cross-slide, or the slide may be set
at an angle to the cross-slide so that short tapers or bevels may be cut. This is
described in greater detail under ‘Bevel Cutting’ on page 20.
The cross-slide and compound slide feeds are provided with a scale. These are
used to move the tool by precise amounts - one division being equivalent to
0.001” (0.025mm). As the feed handle is turned, so does the scale. The scale
on the cross-slide feed may also be held stationary whilst the handle is turned,
allowing the scale to be ‘zeroed’. The manner in which this is put to use is
discussed in greater detail under ‘Operation’.
The tool post carries 8 hex socket
head screws which are used to secure
a cutting tool in any desired position.
Four may be mounted for
convenience and to speed up your
operation. Two are shown mounted in
fig.3.
The tool post is rotated by slackening
the lever (A) on its top, sufficient for
the post to be lifted slightly and then
turned to the desired position.
Always ensure the post and hence
the tool, is secured by screwing down
the lever firmly before attempting to
cut.
THE MOTOR
It is not recommended that you dis-assemble the motor. Brushes may be
replaced as described under ‘Maintenance’. For all other servicing and
repairs, please contact your Clarke dealer.
THE OVERLOAD INDICATOR
The overload indicator will light up
when excessive strain is placed on the
motor.
If the overload indicator lights up you
should, decrease the amount of
material you are trying to remove.
