Compound Slide Handwheel
（
Figure 5
）
Moves the compound and cutting tool relative to the workpiece at various angles with fine-depth control.
Compound Slide Scale
（
Figure 5
）
The 90° rosette on the top of the compound indicates compound angles. Zero splits the scale into two ranges, 45° to
the right and 45° to the left in 1° degree increments.
Tailstock
Use the descriptions in this section and the controls shown in Figure 6 to quickly understand the functions of the
tailstock controls.
Quill Lock Lever
Secures the quill in a locked or pre-loaded position.
Tailstock Lock Lever
Clamps the tailstock in place for general position
locking along the lathe bed.
Set screw
Allows the tailstock to be locked in place using a
wrench to control amount of drawdown alignment with
the spindle centerline.
Tailstock Handwheel
Advances or retracts the quill in the tailstock at a 1:1
ratio with the micrometer scale on the handwheel hub.

Brake
This lathe is equipped with a foot brake (see Figure7)
to quickly stop the spindle. Pushing the foot brake
while the spindle is ON cuts power to the motor and
stops the spindle. Once stopped, the spindle ON/OFF
lever MUST be returned to the neutral position before
the spindle can be restarted.
WARNING!
Using the foot brake to stop the lathe reduces risk of an
entanglement injury from allowing the lathe to coast to
a stop. Use the foot brake to stop the lathe whenever
possible.
