16-Speed Gearhead Lathe

This machine features an adjustable stop system 

that can be used to stop the carriage at a pre-set 

location when it is being driven by the feed rod. 

This system consists of an adjustable collar on 

the feed rod, a stop plate on the apron, and the 

feed rod clutch (see Figure 69). The collar can 

be secured anywhere along the feed rod. When 

the stop plate contacts the collar, the feed rod 

clutch disengages the feed rod and stops carriage 

movement.

Note: This system only works when the carriage 

is engaged with the feed rod—it cannot be used 

to stop the carriage if it is engaged with the 

leadscrew.
