Hello
l have a stupid question . About 20 years ago I purchased this lathe and used it for some simple projects over a couple of years. Life got busy and I put it on the back burner and forgot most of what little I knew. Fast forward to now and I have cleaned it up and got started using it again. Thanks to YouTube channels like Blondihacks I am quickly learning more than I ever knew. On my lathe there is the master on switch , the on/ off and direction switch on the carriage and a third switch next to the master on/switch which is momentary and runs the lathe in reverse only or clockwise when viewed from the tail stock When pushed in or activated. What is its purpose ? Getting gears to mesh when changing ?
thanks
