Nope/ Not this one.

E-stop locked down = No Power

Twist it, red button pops up, fan starts, tach says 0 rpm and there seems to be a quiet buzz ... maybe a transformer or possibly an AC contactor coil .... dunno.

There is a a ( revised ? ) schematic stuck to the back of the machine. Just done a piccy of it.

The diag, in the manual is b*****cks. WRONG !!!   :D

I hope you have not had any  :wine1: if you are messing around with your new toy  ::)

Who was it telling me the other day about a friend's kid going into his workshop and hitting all the stop buttons on the machine tools?  :noidea:

Will do just that.  :ThumbsUp:

Not likely to screwcut on it anyway.

In the last 15 years or so only ever once screwcut a metric thread on the Myford. Lots of inch threads though ...

Dave three things to get quiet gears for power feed as well as screwcutting, I leave my gear train engaged all the time and get minimal noise from it, just use the front lever to put it into neutral when not needed.

1. Start from the gearbox input end of the banjo and with some strips of copy paper gap each of the gear pairs, just put a strip into the gears and turn them so the paper takes on a zig-zag then nip up the pivot. Do the same when you swing the assembled banjo back against the fixed 40T on the spindle. This sets the backlash.

2. Spacing washers. There are 2 washers that space the gear pairs away from the banjo they are slightly different thicknesses. The thick washer goes with the pair that have the smaller gear towards the banjo, the thin washer goes with the pair that have the larger washer towards the banjo. get it wrong and the edges of the gears can rub giving  a ringing sound.

3. Similar to above there is a small amount of left to right movement of the banjo where it pivots around the gearbox input, this can also be used to stop the sides of the gears touching
