Figure 65. Adjustable feed rod stop.
The adjustable feed stop system is designed to stop longitudinal carriage movement at the desired location ONLY when the carriage is engaged with the feed rod.
When the carriage is engaged with the leadscrew for threading operations, the adjustable feed stop system WILL NOT stop carriage
Before doing any threading operation, make sure to loosen the feed stop collar so it slides freely on the feed rod and will not interfere with carriage travel.
