13. Cross Slide Handwheel (R, Figure 20):
Located above the apron assembly. Clockwise
rotation moves the cross slide toward the rear

graduated in 0.002 inch increments, and can
be calibrated by loosening the thumb screw
lock and rotating the ring as needed. Always
re-tighten ring before using the feed.
The cross slide lock is located at the right of
the cross slide (S, Figure 21).
14. Compound Rest: Located on top of the cross
slide and can be rotated 360° after loosening
the lock (T, Figure 21). There are calibrations
in degrees at the base of the rest to assist in
placement to the desired angle.

activates a brake strap at the main motor.
(Caution: Lathe still has power.) The foot
brake is not intended for normal stopping of
the lathe. Overuse can result in hastened wear
of brake parts.

used during manual feed operation to limit
carriage travel. NOTE: It is not intended to
stop the carriage during automatic feed. The
carriage stop can be repositioned along the
