Micrometer Stop
The micrometer stop on this lathe will NOT
automatically stop the carriage or disengage
the power feed! Failure to heed this notice
could result in the carriage crashing and
causing severe machine or property damage.
Use the micrometer stop as a guide to help judge
when to stop the carriage movement. The scale
increments are 0.001" where 360°=0.050".
Tools Needed Qty
Hex Wrench 8mm ................................................. 1
To adjust the micrometer stop:
1.
DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2.
Loosen the cap screws shown in Figure 82 .
3.
Use the carriage handwheel to position the
carriage/cutting tool at the stop point you
want to set (typically the maximum distance
the carriage can travel before there is a
crash).
4.
Position the micrometer stop so the stop rod
is firmly against the carriage, retighten the
cap screws loosened in
Step 2 , and use the
adjustment knob to fine tune the position of
the stop rod.
5.
Move the carriage away from the stop rod,
then move it back against the stop rod and
verify that tooling will not make contact with
chuck, jaws, or other components (rotate the
chuck by hand to verify rotational clearance).
