by loosening the top handle, rotating the tool
post to the desired position, then retightening
the handle to lock the tool into position.

Over-extending a cutting tool from the post
will increase the risk of tool chatter, breakage,
or tool loosening during operation, which
could cause metal pieces to be thrown at
the operator or bystanders with great force.
DO NOT extend a cutting tool more than
2.5 times the width of its cross-section
(e.g., 2.5 x 0.5" = 1.25").
2.
Rotate rest to desired angle, indicated by
scale at base, then retighten both hex nuts.
Note:
The first time you set angle of
compound rest for cutting threads, mark
location on compound rest as a quick
reference point. This will allow you to
quickly return compound rest to that exact
angle next time you need to cut threads.
Setting distance from workpiece
1.
Loosen the three cap screws at base of
compound rest (one of three shown in
Figure 45).
2.
Move rest desired distance from workpiece,
then retighten cap screws.
The compound rest is used to move the tool
toward and away from the workpiece at a preset
angle. The base of the compound rest has a
graduated scale used for setting the cutting tool
to a specific angle.
