Carriage
The carriage includes the apron, saddle, compound rest, cross
slide, tool post, and the cutting tool. It sits across the lathe
ways and in front of the lathe bed.
The function of the carriage is to carry and move the cutting
tool. It can be moved by hand or by power and can be
clamped into position with a locking nut.
The saddle carries the cross slide and the compound rest. The
cross slide is mounted on dovetail ways on the top of the
saddle and is moved back and forth at 90
° to the axis of the
lathe by the cross slide lead screw. The lead screw can be
hand or power activated.
A feed reversing lever, located on the headstock, can be used
to cause the carriage and the cross slide to reverse the
direction of travel when power activated.
The compound rest is mounted on the cross slide and can be
swiveled and clamped at any angle in a horizontal plane. The
compound rest is used in cutting steep tapers, angles for lathe
centers and threading.
The cutting tool and tool holder are secured in the tool post
which is mounted directly to the compound rest.
The apron contains the gears and feed clutches which transmit
motion from the feed rod or lead screw to the carriage and
cross slide.
