The cross feed binding screw must be removed to free the nut when the type is set up. The depth of cut must then be made by made by using the compound feed screw handle. The crossfeed may be used for depth of cut when using the telescoping taper attachment since the crossfeed binding screw is not disengaged with this type.
When a workpiece is to be duplicated or an internal taper is to be made for and existing external taper, it is often convenient to set up the taper attachment by using a dial indicator.The contact point of the dial indicator must be on the center of the workpiece. The workpiece is first set up in a chuck or between centers so there i no runout when it is rotated.
