Gear Charts

The Model G0516 can be geared for a variety of different feed rates, so charts are placed on the drive cover of the lathe that explain how to set up the gear combinations for each type of carriage feed application. These applications are broken into two categories of charts—turning and thread- ing.

Turning Chart—The speeds given on the turning chart represent standard speeds for most types of turning applications. See Figure 26.
