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.
