the direction that the leadscrew and feed rod
rotate.

change gearbox from neutral into high or
low.

configurations of the gearbox levers and
displays the positions of the various gears for
different threading or turning options.
F. Spindle Speed Range Lever: Controls the
speed ranges available to the spindle.
G. Micrometer Stop: Clamps along the way, and
serves as a stopping point indicator, so when
cutting shoulders the tool tip can be stopped
at exactly the same point every time.
