The compound slide (see Figure 45) sits on the cross slide and is the base for the tool post. An important feature of the compound slide is that it can position the cutting tool at angles other than 90°, which is necessary when machining cham- fers or when cutting threads.

2.Rotate the compound slide to the desired angle to the workpiece. Use the indicator mark on the base of the compound slide and the angle scale on top of the cross slide to determine the angle.

3.Re-tighten the two cap screws to secure the compound slide in position.

Tool Posts

The Model G9249 ships with a standard tool post and a 4-way tool post. The advantage of the 4-way tool post is that it can hold four tool holders or tools at one time that can be indexed (rotated) to the workpiece as needed.
