The micrometer stop allows you to manually
stop the carriage at the same position for repeat
cuts, such as when turning up to a shoulder. The
micrometer stop includes a graduated dial that
allows you to precisely position the stop.
The adjustable feed stop collar shown in Figure 60,
is designed to stop carriage movement when using
the feed rod. When the apron stop plate contacts
the stop collar, the feed rod clutch disengages and
carriage movement stops.
To use the adjustable feed stop, secure the feed
stop collar at the location where the carriage
should disengage from power feed and stop
movement.
The adjustable feed stop will NOT stop
carriage movement when it is engaged with
the leadscrew. Do NOT attempt to use this
stop when threading!
The micrometer stop on this lathe is designed
for manually stopping the carriage at the same
position for repeat cuts. The carriage will NOT
automatically stop by itself when it contacts
the micrometer stop.
