tions to understand the functions of the downfeed
controls that affect the travel of the quill, spindle,

pointer on the side with the downfeed scale
to determine the depth of downfeed.

dle is enabled with the downfeed selector, it
raises/lowers the quill quickly.

not affect spindle rotation.

travel when the quill dog reaches this point.
set the stop at any position along the
downfeed scale, then secure it in place by
tightening the lock up to it.

f. Graduated Scale: Displays quill travel in

0.001" increments when the fine downfeed
handwheel is used. one full revolution repre-
sents 0.080" of quill travel.

handwheel is enabled with the downfeed
selector, it raises/lowers the quill in small
increments.
