to cut, turn the rotary table
handwheel clockwise 23 full
turns (92°), using care not to
pass the handwheel scale 0°
mark on the last turn.

workpiece, then rotate the
handwheel clockwise 45 full
turns (180°), making sure not

bring the cutter to the starting
point of the second slot.
note: Rotating the rotary table in
only one direction throughout
the operation will remove any
error from backlash.

handwheel clockwise 23 full
turns to begin the second 92°
slot.
7. Raise the end mill, rotate the
rotary table clockwise back to
the 0° mark on the rotational
scale, then take an additional
0.083" deep cut.
8. Repeat Steps 4–7, increasing
the depth of cut by 0.083" each
time, until the final depth of cut
is reached for each slot.
