To align the cutting tool with the tailstock center:
1.Mount the cutting tool in the tool post, then turn the tool post so the tooling faces the tailstock.
2.Install a center in the tailstock, and position the center tip near the tip of the cutting tool.
3.Lock the tailstock and quill in place.
Micrometer Stop
The micrometer 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 micrometer stop as a guide to help judge when to stop the carriage movement. The scale increments are 0.001" where 360°=0.050".
