Does the micrometer collar on my 820's cross-slide measures the tool bit movement or the amount of material being cut? Is it in thous? There's some slop in my old lathe and I'm trying to pin down how much I'm compensating for. I've looked through the original catalog and instruction manual but it doesn't say anywhere. Is the answer for the cross-slide the same for the compound?
Many thanks.
