a workpiece mounted on the rotating spindle. the
spindle receives power from the electric motor
through the gears and belts in the headstock.
tools used for turning or threading the workpiece
are mounted on the carriage or tailstock. the
tooling is moved parallel or across the workpiece
by moving the carriage or cross slide. the move-
ment of these mechanisms is controlled manually
by handwheels or automatically with the power
feed.
spindle speeds are selected by configuring the
gears and belts in the headstock. power feed
rates of the carriage or cross slide are selected
by configuring the change gears and feed rate
selectors.
