One neat bit: The handwheel dials are zero-settable, meaning you can turn the dial back to zero
(or whatever number is necessary) to make it easier to set spacings or distances, etc. Most lathes and
mills use a set screw or thumbscrew- this unit has these three spring-loaded bronze pins to accomplish
the same thing with just friction. Once cleaned and lightly oiled, I found out they worked very well indeed.
