THE SADDLE
The Saddle carries the Cross-Slide (6), on to which is mounted the Compound Slide
(7) with Tool Post (5), allowing intricate and delicate operations to be performed. It
may be driven by the Leadscrew, via a Drive Nut, to provide automatic feed when
the Auto Feed lever (15), mounted on the Apron (17), is operated.
The position of the tool is effected by turning the cross-slide feed handle (16), which
moves it across the lathe, and the saddle or manual feed handle (18), which moves
it longitudinally. Additionally the compound slide feed handle (13) may be used to
move the tool by small amounts at right angles to the cross-slide, or the slide may
be set at an angle to the cross-slide so that short tapers or bevels may be cut. This
is described in greater detail under ‘Bevel Cutting’on page 17.
The cross-slide and compound slide feeds are provided with a scale. These are
used to move the tool by precise amounts - one division being equivalent to 0.001”
(0.025mm). As the feed handle is turned, so does the scale. The scale on the cross-
slide feed may also be held stationary whilst the handle is turned, allowing the
scale to be ‘zeroed’. The manner in which this is put to use is discussed in greater
detail under ‘Operation’.
The tool post carries 8 hex socket head
screws which are used to secure a cutting
tool in any desired position. Four may be
mounted for convenience and to speed
up your operation. Two are shown
mounted in fig.3.
The tool post is rotated by slackening the
lever (A) on its top, sufficient for the post
to be lifted slightly and then turned to the
desired position.
ALWAYS ensure the post, and hence the
tool, is secured by screwing down the
lever firmly before attempting to cut.
THE MOTOR
It is not recommended that you dis-assemble the motor. Brushes may be replaced
as described under ‘Maintenance’. For all other servicing and repairs, please
contact your Clarke dealer.
OVERLOAD INDICATOR
The overload indicator will light up when
excessive strain is placed on the motor.
If the overload indicator lights up you should,
decrease the amount of material you are
trying to remove.
