+=== Power Feed ===
+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.
+Por ejemplo, this video I recorded a very long time ago. <nowiki>https://photos.app.goo.gl/tGQB9V3VdxrpEjQD2</nowiki>
+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><br />
