I am used to the Bridgeport type power quill setup. My normal operation with boring to a shoulder, which may or may not be correct, is to set a quill stop for the depth I want and then let it bore down until it hits it and then it "pops" out on its own. I then can raise the quill back up with the handle and start over again.
The Excello 602 has a different setup than a Bridgeport does. I understand what all the levers do( I think) but what is the proper technique for boring to a shoulder and then raising the quill back up? Does the "friction clutch" slip when it hits a stop? Do you use the reverse feed to bring the quill back up? It seemed like in the middle of feed down and reverse feed there was a "neutral" where the quill would come back up with the handle with out backing the clutch out. The manual doesn't say much about using this. Thanks.
