Hello everyone I just a got a SAG 180 and got her dialed in but Im new to lathe work and can't read Italian. I was able to locate the manuals for both the SAG 180 and 14 but they are vague at best to describe the parts and functions. Ive managed to turn a 5/8"-11 threads just messing around trying to figure out all of the controls.
My questions are does anyone have an English version of the manual for a SAG 180? Id like to know what the 5 position lever on the bottom right of the carriage is for. It sits on the feed rod. I also would like to know what the cam lever under the apron hand wheel is for. It has a cam lever and a thumb wheel. It doesn't say how to utilize the carriage stops in the manual but I have read on this forum that there are stops and adjustments.
If anyone has the time and knowledge and would like to share I'm all ears. I am willing to call and speak over the phone as this typing back and forth gets a bit irritating.
I really like doing lathe work and can't wait to get this thing figured out so thanks in advance for your help.
