11.6 CROSS SLIDE NUT ADJUSTMENT
The cross slide moves via a lead screw which drives a nut.
This can be adjusted if backlash develops. Backlash is
identified by turning the cross slide handwheel left and right
– if there is a delay before any cross slide movement, the
nut needs adjusting.
Tighten or loosen the screw shown in Figure 35 until
backlash is adjusted out.

11.7 SHEAR PIN REPLACEMENT
The lead screw and feed shaft are equipped with shear
pins, which are designed to break in order to protect the
drive system against overload. A broken shear pin must be
replaced.
Knock out the broken pin; line up the holes and insert
new pin.
11.8 STEADY REST ADJUSTMENT
Always lubricate the fingers with grease before using
the steady rest. The point at which the fingers contact
the workpiece require continuous lubrication to prevent
premature wear.
To set the steady rest (see Figure 36):
1. Loosen hex nut (A) to slide steady rest along the ways.
2.
Loosen knurled handle (B) until it can be pivoted out of
the slot.
3.
Loosen three lock knobs (C), and back off the fingers
(D) using knurled handles (E).
4.
Pivot the collar on its hinge and position steady rest
around workpiece.
5.
Firmly tighten hex nut (A).
6.
Set the fingers snugly to work piece and secure by
tightening locking knobs. Fingers should be snug but
not overly tight.

11.9 FOLLOW REST ADJUSTMENT
The follow rest mounts to the saddle with two socket
head cap bolts. The follow rest should be mounted so that
locking knobs point away from chuck.
The sliding fingers are set similar to those on the steady
rest – free of play, but not binding.
Always lubricate the fingers sufficiently with grease before
operating.
