To set the micrometer stop:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen the cap screws shown in Figure 66,
then use the carriage handwheel to position
the carriage and cutting tool at the desired
stopping point.
Use the adjustable feed stop collar (shown in
Figure 65) to set the location where the carriage
should disengage from power feed.
When the apron stop plate contacts the stop col-
lar during an operation that uses the feed rod, the
clutch disengages the carriage from the feed rod
and movement stops.

Stop
The adjustable feed stop system is designed
to stop longitudinal carriage movement at
the desired location ONLY when the carriage
is engaged with the feed rod.
When the carriage is engaged with the
leadscrew for threading operations, the
adjustable feed stop system WILL NOT stop
carriage movement—you must use the half
nut lever instead. Otherwise, the carriage
can crash into the chuck, or if it contacts the
stop, the leadscrew shear pin will break.
Before doing any threading operation, make
sure to loosen the feed stop collar so it
slides freely on the feed rod and will not
interfere with carriage travel.

The carriage stop on this lathe will NOT
automatically stop the carriage during
threading operations when the carriage
is engaged with the leadscrew! Failure to
heed this notice could result in the carriage
crashing and causing severe machine or
property damage.
