3. Petunjuk Pengoperasian
3.1 The Top Slide
The top slide is secured to the cross slide using three T-nuts (4) and socket head screws (5). To adjust its position, loosen the two socket head screws (6). This allows the top slide to be set to the desired angle. The graduated scale on the top slide handwheel facilitates precise angle positioning. Graduations are 0.025 mm for metric machines and 0.001 inch for inch-type machines.

Figure 3.1: Top Slide Assembly. Components 4 and 5 are T-nuts and socket head screws, 6 are socket head screws for positioning, 7 is the hexagon screw for clamping, and 8 is the centering bolt.
Clamping Turning Tools
- Clampdengan clamp: The distance from the top slide surface to the center height is 23 mm. Use steel spacers of appropriate size under the turning tool to achieve the exact center height. The hexagon screw (7) must be positioned so that the clamp is parallel to the top slide (23 mm = 0.9").
- Clamping with the four-way toolpost and quick-change toolpost: These are centered by the centering bolt of the top slide (8) and secured with a hexagon nut and a special washer.
3.2 The Tailstock
The tailstock is mounted on the rear Vee of the lathe bed and is constructed from high-grade, vibration-free cast iron. The tailstock ram is advanced or retracted using the handwheel, providing a travel of 80 mm. A graduated scale is engraved directly onto the tailstock ram for precise measurements. Accurate feed is ensured by a scale ring on the tailstock handwheel.

Tailstock Graduations
- Metric machines: 0.05 mm
- Inch-type machines: 0.001"
Catatan:
The tailstock ram should always be clamped, except during drilling operations.
The internal taper of the tailstock ram (MT2) is designed to accommodate centers and drill chucks. To eject a center or drill chuck, simply turn the ram back.
