M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill

Using Manual Feed

You can manually move the cutting tool around the lathe/ mill with the three handwheels shown in Figure 36.

Longitudinal Handwheel

The longitudinal handwheel moves the carriage left or right along the bed. This control is helpful when setting up the machine for turning or when manual movement is desired during turning operations.

Cross Feed Handwheel

The cross slide handwheel moves the top slide toward and away from the work. Turning the dial clockwise moves the slide toward the workpiece.
