graduated scale is adjustable using the same
method as the other handwheels. Angle adjust-
ment is controlled by cap screws in the base of

The carriage allows the cutting tool to move
along the length of the lathe bed. The cross slide
allows the cutting tool to travel perpendicular to
the bed. The carriage features a top slide which
allows linear movement of the cutting tool at any
preset angle. This section will review the individ-
ual controls on the carriage and provide descrip-
tions of their uses.

ment is desired during turning operations.
