16-Speed Gearhead Lathe

Feed Rod Clutch

Adjustment

The feed rod clutch helps protect the drivetrain from overload in the event of a crash, and it works with the adjustable apron stop system to disengage the feed rod from the apron. The feed clutch release point is adjusted at the factory. However, it can be re-adjusted to increase or decrease the load it will take before the clutch slips.

Keep in mind that correctly adjusting the feed rod clutch for your operation is a matter of trial- and-error and experience.

Setting the feed clutch for too high of a load defeats its purpose and could lead to lathe damage in the event of a crash.
