The Cross Slide will be graduated so that the Top Slide can be set at the angle that you require. This will probably go from the central Zero (where the Top Slide movement is parallel to the lathe axis ) to about 45 degrees each side of this Zero position. But in this case, you cannjot be sure of what the previous owner (s) might have done, or why! H T H Howard |
