AMMCO 6000 Heavy Duty Drum/Disk Lathe - Manual (Page 11)

Saddle and Cross Slide Locks
The red handled saddle locks and cross slide locks tighten in a
clockwise direction. Use the locks to maintain a constant depth-
of-cut when machining drums (saddle locks) and turning rotors
(cross slide locks). Never engage a feed gearbox when its sad-
dle or cross slide is locked, Fig. 1.
Feed Gearbox Engagement Levers
Each gearbox is labeled to indicate the ENGAGE and DISEN-
GAGE positions. The gearboxes may be shifted in and out of
gear at any feed speed without danger to the gearboxes.
Hand Wheel Depth-Of-Cut Dials
The hand wheel dials are calibrated with both inch and metric
scales. The dials indicate the DEPTH-OF-CUT when setting the
cutting tool for turning a drum.
Inch Scale - A cut of .010" from a 16.000" diameter drum will
result in a refinished diameter of 16.020".
Metric Scale - A cut of .1 mm from a 418 mm diameter drum
will result in a refinished diameter of 418.2 mm.
