Four-Position Apron
Stop
Use the four-position apron stop for disengaging
the apron automatically at up to four different
apron locations.
You can tighten the eccentrics in place on the
rod, each at different rotated positions, so each
eccentric corresponds with a number on the dial.
Then, depending which number you turn the stop
selection dial (
Figure 49 ) to, the rod will align
the toe of the stop eccentric where you want
the apron to stop. When the apron reaches that
point, the crown of the stop eccentric will depress
the clutch release lever and disengage the apron
from the feed rod, thus stopping the apron.

Apron
This four-position apron stop system is
only made to disengage the apron from the
feed rod. When the lead screw is engaged
for threading operations, the four-position
apron stop will not disengage the apron—
you must manually disengage the apron
from the feed rod with the half nut lever or
the apron will crash into the chuck.
NOTICE
Every time you readjust the stop eccen-
trics, always manually test your apron stop
setting before you rely on apron stop sys-
tem to automatically disengage the apron.
