Carriage
The carriage (C, Figure 10) is made from high quality cast iron. The
The compound slide (D, Figure 10) which is T- slotted, and mounted on the cross slide (E, Figure 10) can be rotated 360°. The compound slide and the cross slide travel in a dovetailed slide and have adjustable gibs.
Four Way Tool Post
The four way tool post (F, Figure 10) is mounted on the compound slide and allows a maximum of four tools to be mounted at the same time. Remember to use a minimum of two clamping screws when installing a cutting tool.
Apron

Leadscrew and Feed Rod
The leadscrew (J, Figure 11) and feed rod (K, Figure 11) are mounted on the front of the machine bed. They are connected to the gearbox at the left and are supported by bearings on both ends. Both are equipped with shear pins.
Feed Gearbox
The gearbox (L, Figure 11) is made from high quality cast iron and is mounted to the left side of the machine bed.
Steady Rest
The steady rest (M, Figure 11) serves as a support for shafts on the free tailstock end. The steady rest is mounted on the bedway and secured from below with a bolt, nut and locking plate. The sliding fingers require continuous lubrication at the contact points with the workpiece to prevent them from premature wear.
