Charts for the powerfeed and thread cutting fea-
tures are located on the inside of the

Lower Belt

Guard

.

Figure 38

shows a segment of the chart

and a brief description.

Gearing for feed rates are detailed in

Figure 38.

In the example below we will be selecting gears
for a feed rate of 0.002" per revolution:

1.

Find 0.002" in the chart.

2.

Locate the number in row A, which is above
0.002". The number is 24, representing a
gear with 24 teeth.

3.

The number in row B above 0.002" is 120
and the number in row C is 60. These 2 num-
bers represent one of the 2 combination
gears supplied with your lathe.

4.

Finally, in row D you will find the number 120
which represents a gear with 120 teeth.

5.

Looking at the Gear Layout we see that gear
A (24 teeth) meshes with gear B (120 teeth)
and that gear C (60 teeth) meshes with gear
D (120 teeth).

5.

Move the

Feed Rate Lever

to the I position

as described in the section titled

Feed

Selection.

Please note that the corresponding feed rate in
millimeters would be 0.1 millimeters per revolu-
tion and that the gearing is identical.
