Please check the stop/start as fitted by Myford on later machines.
I have had a little accident this afternoon nothing serious fortunately but it may have been
When measuring a part the lathe suddenly started buzzing and restarted.Pushed the stop and again restarted
On opening the stop/start unit the normally open tip had come out of its housing and was shorting out across the uninsulated spades connectors.
I have replaced the spades with insulated type and refitted the tip locking it in with some silicone adhesive.
When the tip was refitted no way could I get it to come back out so it may have been incorrectly fitted at the factory or due to vibration worked its way out.
I dont wish to appear alarmist and know I should have also used the E/stop button but familiarity breads complacency and this should never have happened .
kind regards
