POWER FEED (Thread cutting operations)
For thread cutting, the saddle is driven by the threads on the
leadscrew in combination with a half nut in the apron, Figure
3-19.
Before engaging the half nut be sure there are no
obstacles to saddle movement, and that the power
feed lever is in its neutral, mid-position.
The power feed doesn't stop by itself!
Other than intervention by the operator,
there is nothing to stop (for instance) the
saddle running into the tailstock.
