The carriage has longitudinal power feed capability of
0.0047, 0.0063, 0.0078, and 0.012 inches per revolution of
the chuck. All directions reverse when spindle rotation is
reversed.
To set and engage the power feed, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Determine the feed rate that will give you the type
of finish you need. For example, in this case the
chart shows that 0.0047" is required. The gearbox
lever is in position 9 (Figure 34), and install the
"60" and 28-tooth change gears in the "a" and "b"
positions (Figure 35).

3. Use the leadscrew direction lever to select
leadscrew rotation.
4. Set your cutting depth to a few thousandths of an
inch, turn the lathe FE, and move the apron feed
lever (Figure 36) to engage and disengage the auto
feed.
