Compound Slide

The compound slide handwheel has an indirect- read graduated scale. This means that the distance shown on the scale represents the actual distance the tool moves, which will remove twice as much material from the diameter of the workpiece. The base of the compound slide has another graduated scale used for setting the tool to a specific angle.

To set the compound slide at a certain angle:

1.Loosen the two hex nuts at the base of the compound slide (1 of 2 shown in Figure 71).

Four-Way Tool Post

The four-way tool post is mounted on top of the compound slide and allows a maximum of four tools to be loaded simultaneously.

The four-way tool post allows for quick indexing to different tools, which is accomplished by loosening the top handle, rotating the tool post to the desired position, then re-tightening the handle to lock the tool into position.

2.Rotate the compound to the desired angle, as indicated by the scale at the base, then retighten the two hex nuts.

Tip: The first time you set the angle of the compound rest for cutting threads, mark the location on the cross slide as a quick reference point. This will allow you to quickly return the compound rest to that exact angle the next time you need to cut threads.

To load the tool post:

1.Choose the desired cutting tool.

2.Loosen the tool post bolts so that the cutting tool can fit underneath them.

Note: If necessary, place one steel shim underneath the cutting tool so the cutting tip is properly aligned with the workpiece. The shim should be as long and as wide as the cutting tool to properly support it.

Over-extending a cutting tool from the tool post will increase the risk of it breaking during operation, which may cause metal pieces to be thrown at the operator or bystanders with great force. Only extend a cutting tool 2.5 times the width of its cross-section or less (i.e., 2.5 x 0.5" = 1.25").

3.Firmly secure the cutting tool with at least two tool post bolts (Figure 72).
