Figure 85. Gearbox levers set for a feed rate of 0.014" 
(0.35mm).
Positioning Gearbox Levers
To cut a particular thread or establish a 
particular feed rate, you may need to first swap 
the gearbox drive gear, depending on where it is 
currently set (refer to End Gear Setup on Page 
47
).
Once you have confirmed that the end gear is 
set up properly, you can then move the gearbox 
levers to the required positions. The arrows 
going from Figure 84 to Figure 85 show which 
gearbox levers must be moved to achieve an 
example feed rate.
