NOTE
: If you require a shoulder with perfectly clean corners, then you need to use an appropriately shaped
tool.
23. Retract the tool one or two complete turns on the cross-slide feed, then wind the saddle so that the tool is at
the start point once again. Advance the tool the same number of turns, plus the depth of cut, and when
ready, push down the auto feed lever and proceed to take another cut.
Bevel Cutting
Bevel cutting involves the use of the compound slide, which is mounted on the cross-slide and set at right angles
to it for all normal cutting operations. This is indicated by the zero mark, on the scale, (B Fig. 8), lining up with
the mark etched on the body of the cross-slide.
To set the compound slide so that the cutting tool will cut a bevel, first retract the slide, until the two hex socket
head screws (A) are revealed as shown in Fig 9.
Slacken the screws enough to allow the compound slide to be turned to the desired angle, as indicated on the
scale, and secure the slide in this position by retightening the hex socket head screws.
The taper, or bevel, is cut by setting the cross-slide appropriately then using the compound slide feed handle to
advance the cutting tool in the direction of the arrow, as shown in Fig. 9.
