Super fine camera to subject focusing is achieved by the .042 per revolution stainless steel lead screw. The lead screw adjustment range is 4.250 in with a lead screw pitch of 5/16 in x 24.

Rough positioning is acheived by the stage release knob

Turn knob clockwise, until it stops, to disenage the drive gear to allow for rough focus positioning

Turn knob counter clockwise, until it stops, to re-engage the drive gear to allow for fine focusing 

Mounted on the FR-3 is a KES 2.6 inch quick release plate that can rotate 360 degrees at 90 degrees intervals to allow you to mount a camera body or a collared lens. If geared linear motion, in both the X an Y axes is trying to be achieved, a second FR-3 can be stacked to achieve this, 

This focusing rail is perfect for macro nature, panorama, and commercial photography.
