Adjusting Carriage
Figure 25. Carriage controls.
Like most lathes, the longitudinal movement of
the carriage (carriage feed) on the Model G0516
can be controlled both manually and automatical-
ly. Before proceeding, take a closer look at the
carriage controls shown in
Figure 25.
To move the carriage feed manually:
1. Push the carriage feed handwheel toward
the carriage to engage the gear on the lead
screw.
2. Rotate the handwheel clockwise to move the
carriage right and rotate the handwheel
counterclockwise to move the carriage left.
3. Set the handwheel scale in the same manner
as described in the “Adjusting Cross Slide”
instructions, and be sure to account for the
backlash.
To use the automatic carriage feed:
1. Select the desired feed rate you need by
looking at the charts on the lathe drive cover.
When new, Model G0516 is geared for a car-
riage feed rate of .005" per revolution.
Use the manual feed handwheel to position
the carriage to your desired starting point
and set the scale on the handwheel to “0”.
2. Move the carriage feed lever down to engage
the half-nut, which in turn, makes the auto-
matic carriage feed active.
3. Pull out the carriage manual feed handwheel
to unlock it so it does not rotate when the
automatic carriage feed is engaged.
The carriage feed will now move forward or back-
ward, depending on which direction you have
selected for lathe rotation.
