HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Secure your workpiece in the lathe chuck and tighten it firmly. Ensure all guards are in place and the coolant system is filled (if using).
2. Set Speed and Feed: Choose the appropriate spindle speed and feed rate based on the material and desired finish. Refer to the lathe’s manual for recommended settings.
3. Turning: Engage the spindle and use the carriage handwheel to move the cutting tool against the rotating workpiece, gradually removing material to achieve the desired shape.
4. Parting: For cutting off a section of material, use a parting tool and slowly feed it into the workpiece while the spindle is rotating.
5. Threading: With the threading dial engaged, move the carriage to create precise threads on your workpiece.
