got the 5980 due to space constraints. But mainly to do small gunsmithing chores. The manual(if you can call it that)tells you how to turn it on and off..having to figure everything as I go. figured out how to lock the quill in a given position but not how to make the fine feed work. This site looks like one that I can learn from.

Push/pull on the big chrome mushroom in the coarse feed hub.
