Adjustable Feed Stop
Use the adjustable feed stop collar (shown in
Figure 63) to set the location where the carriage
should disengage from power feed.
When the apron stop plate contacts the stop
collar during an operation that uses the feed rod,
the clutch disengages the carriage from the feed
rod and movement stops.

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.
Use the carriage stop as a guide to help judge
when to stop carriage movement.
