===Carriage Lock=== | |||
If the carriage doesn't freely/easily move in the X direction, there's a fat hex bolt head sticking up on the right side of it that needs loosening. | |||

===Power Feed=== | |||
Note that while <u>generally gears/speeds shouldn't be changed while the lathe is in motion</u>, from https://forum.protospace.ca/t/can-t-get-lathe-power-feed-to-work/3568/8<blockquote>Set it to a lowish speed like 400 or less and bump the jog button. Then start wiggling leavers while it’s coasting down and watch the drive shaft and screw. You’ll feel it when it engages and the shafts will start spinning… | |||
The threading lead screw and the power feed drive shaft are taken off at different points in the gear train. It is possible to jiggle a leaver and get one to start spinning while the other is still not engaged properly and requires further jiggling. | |||
The XYWZ lever is the worst and usually requires persuasion to engage. The gears are all straight cut, and all may require sufficient wigglage before they cooperate. And the number dial is keep turning until it works. It’s about 1/4 past the number you want.</blockquote>[[File:20180206_230213_720p.mp4|frameless]] | |||
