M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill
Setting Compound Slide
OPERATIONS
The compound slide is used to cut tapers on parts or to set the proper infeed angle when threading. It may also be used to cut specific lengths longitudinally, when set parallel to the spindle axis.
To set the angular position, do these steps:
1.Loosen the hex nuts, one on each side of the com- pound slide (see Figure 34).
2.Rotate the compound slide to the desired angular position using the scale.
3.Tighten the two hex nuts. Be sure to not overtight- en, as you may strip threads or crack or distort the base casting.
