Grizzly G0492 Using the Compound Rest, Using the Tool Post, To set the angular position

Using the

Compound Rest

The compound rest 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 longitu- dinally, when set parallel to the spindle axis.

To set the angular position:

1.Loosen the hex nuts, one on each side of the compound rest (see Figure 28).

2.Rotate the compound rest to the desired angular position using the scale.

3.Tighten the two hex nuts. Be sure to not over- tighten, as you may strip threads or crack or distort the base casting.

Using the Tool Post

The four-way tool post (Figure 29) is mounted on top of the compound rest, and allows a maximum of four tools to be loaded simultaneously.

The four-way tool post allows for quick indexing to new tools. This is accomplished by rotating the top handle counterclockwise and then rotating the tool post to the desired position. Rotate the top handle clockwise to lock the tool into position.
