You do need to wind it out far enough to do the job in hand with the compound slide set round 90 deg to apply the cut when using the taper turning attachment. It can of course be re- engaged but it can be a bit of a fiddle to do.

I usually disengage the gear box and pull out the cross slide drive selector knob then by turning the carriage drive wheel you can spin that keyed gear while you are at the same time trying to screw the cross slide back in. It does take some finesse but soon you will find they mesh up and then push the drive selector back in and thread the slide back together.
