Power Feed Controls
Use Figures 68–69 and the following descrip-
tions to understand the power feed controls.
Note: Before using power feed, you may have to
re-configure the end gears, depending on how
they are set up. Refer to End Gears on Page 52
for detailed instructions.
B. Feed Rate Chart: Displays the settings
for the quick-change gearbox dials for the
selected feed rate. Refer to Setting Power
Feed Rate subsection on the next page for
detailed instructions.
C. Quick-Change Gearbox Feed Dials:
Position these to select different feed rates.

To avoid damaging the lathe, ALWAYS make
sure the spindle is completely stopped
BEFORE using the headstock controls to
make changes.
D. Feed Selection Lever: Changes the power
feed to either the cross slide or the carriage.
When the lever is down and the indent pin
is pointing up, the cross slide is selected.
Conversely, when the lever is up and the pin
is pointing down, the carriage is selected.
In the middle position, the apron gears are
disengaged from the feed rod and neither
component will move.
Note: When using this lever, you may need
to slightly rotate the handwheel of the com-
ponent you are trying to engage, so that the
apron gears can mesh.

A. Feed Direction Dial: Selects the direction of
carriage travel for power feed relative to the
rotation direction of the spindle. When the
dial is positioned as shown in Figure 68, the
carriage will move left (toward the spindle), or
the cross feed will travel toward the rear of
the lathe when the spindle is rotating coun-
terclockwise (or toward the front of the lathe).
When the dial is positioned in the opposite
direction, the carriage will move right (toward
the tailstock), or the cross feed will travel
toward the front of the lathe when the spindle
is rotating clockwise (or toward the rear of the
lathe).
