General operating instructions
4.22.1 Longitudinal turning
In the straight turning operation, the tool
feeds parallel to the axis of rotation of the
workpiece. The feed can be either manual
- by turning the handwheel on the lathe
saddle or the top slide - or by activating
the automatic feed. The cross feed for the
depth of cut is achieved using the cross
slide.

In the facing operation, the tool feeds per-
pendicular to the axis of rotation of the
workpiece. Feed is done manually, using
the cross-slide hand wheel. The infeed for
cut depth is made with the top slide or
lathe saddle.
