Setting Compound Slide

The compound slide is used to cut tapers on parts or to set the proper infeed angle when threading. It may also be used to cut specific lengths longitudinally, when set parallel to the spindle axis.

To set the angular position, do these steps:

1.Loosen the hex nuts, one on each side of the compound slide (see Figure 27).

2.Rotate the compound slide to the desired angular position using the scale.

3.Tighten the two hex nuts. Be sure to not overtighten, as you may strip threads or crack or distort the base casting.

Using the Tool Posts

The four-way tool post (Figure 28) 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 new tools. This is accomplished by rotating the top handle counterclockwise and then rotating the tool post to the desired position. Rotate the top handle clockwise to lock the tool into position.

The universal single tool post holder can hold tool arbors and odd shaped cutting tools (Figure 29).
