Does anyone know if you can change the Chipmaster feed direction lever with the lathe running? I've changed it after hitting stop on my VFD when the spindle is slowing down without any adverse effects, so just wondering if you can do this with it running?

Yes you can. It uses a dog clutch so it's no problem. I am assuming you are referring to the feed lever on the headstock?
 
Yes, the feed lever on the headstock. Thanks for your reply I've been wondering about this for a while.
