Adjustable Apron Stop System
Use the adjustable apron stop collar (shown in Figure 75) to set the location where the carriage will be disengaged by the feedrod friction clutch. When the adjustable apron stop contacts the stop collar during a carriage feeding operation, the clutch disengages the feedrod from the apron and the carriage movement stops.
Carriage Stop
The carriage stop on this lathe will NOT automatically stop the carriage or disengage the power feed! Failure to heed this notice could result in the carriage crashing and causing severe machine or property damage.
Use the carriage stop as a guide to help judge when to stop the carriage movement.

5.Move the carriage away from the stop rod, then move it back against the stop rod and verify that tooling will not make contact with chuck, jaws, or other components (rotate the chuck by hand to verify rotational clearance).
