I recently purchased a Clausing 5936 lathe. I am experiencing the back gear pin is sliding out when I am running in direct drive. Which leads to noise till the spindle stops. Will this damage the pin? I don't believe the lathe was used much by the previous owner. And I have been oiling per Clausing manuel.
I have adjusted my turning by stopping frequently to reset the pin. The longer that I use the lathe the less frequent the slips are becoming, after 30 minutes I have run it engaged for up to 3 minutes without it slipping.
Is this a "it needs to be used daily" and it will work normally or is there something that I need to check?
