Power Feed
The carriage has power feed options for either
threading or non-threading operations. However,
this subsection only covers using the power feed
option for non-threading operations. To learn how
to power the carriage for threading operations,
refer to
Threading on Page 46.
B. Feed Direction Lever: Selects carriage trav-
el direction. The carriage moves left when
feed direction lever is up, half nut lever is
engaged, and spindle switch is set to "F".
The carriage moves right when the feed
direction lever is all the way down. The car-
riage will not move when the lever is in the
center position.
Carriage travel direction reverses when the
spindle switch is set to "R".
To avoid damaging lathe, ALWAYS make
sure spindle is completely stopped BEFORE
using headstock controls to make changes.
Power Feed Controls
Use the following descriptions and figures to
understand the power feed controls.
Before using power feed, you may have to recon-
figure the end gears, depending on how they are
set up. The lathe comes from the factory with the
end gears setup in the standard configuration
(refer to
End Gears on Page 43). This end gear
configuration achieves a fixed feed rate of 0.04 in/
rev. Refer to
End Gears on Page 43 for detailed
instructions on how to configure the end gears.
A. Spindle Switch: Starts, stops, and reverses
carriage travel when feed direction lever and
half nut lever are engaged.

completing power feeding operations.
C. Half Nut Lever: Engages/disengages half
nut for power feed operations.
