General operating instructions
4.21.1 Longitudinal turning
In the straight turning operation, the tool
feeds parallel to the axis of rotation of the
workpiece. The feed can be either manual
- by turning the handwheel on the lathe
saddle or the top slide - or by activating
the automatic feed. The cross feed for the
depth of cut is achieved using the cross
slide.
4.21.2 Face turning and recessing
In the facing operation, the tool feeds per-
pendicular to the axis of rotation of the
workpiece. Feed is done manually, using
the cross-slide hand wheel. The infeed for
cut depth is made with the top slide or
lathe saddle.
4.21.3 Turning short tapers with the top slide
Short tapers are turned manually with the top slide.
Swivel the top slide to the required angle. The infeed
is achieved with the cross slide.
Loosen the two clamping screws in the front and in the rear of the top slide.
Swivel the top slide.
Clamp the top slide again.
4.21.4 Thread cutting
The thread cutting process requires that the operator has a good knowledge of turning and suf-
ficient experience.
INFORMATION
Due to a safety mechanism, it is not possible to use the
longitudinal feed via the lead screw and
