Tools
The DRO can keep track of your tool dimensions. This is useful if your tools maintain their X-axis
position between uses, such as when you use a quick change tool post to hold your turning tools.
Replacing a tool like this will return it to the same X-axis position.
You can enter the values for the current tool using the Tool Offsets button. Enter the values and
tap
Set Tool Offset
. While a tool offset is in effect, the position readouts are shown in red to
alert you to this fact.
To clear the current tool offset, press and hold the Tool Offset button.

Adjustments
Keeping your lathe in adjustment is an ongoing process. You should check all the following
adjustments when you set up your lathe and then periodically as you use your lathe. Looseness in
the carriage retaining plates or the gibs can cause chatter when you are using the lathe. If you
experience chatter, check all these adjustments.
Carriage
The carriage is held on the ways by retainers with gibs that are bolted to the bottom of the
carriage.
A gib is a strip of metal placed between the bearing surface of two machine parts to ensure a
precision fit and provide adjustment for wear. The bench lathe has gibs in several places,
including the carriage.
