Hi,
On my Microlux 7x16 mini lathe, when I attempt to engage the half-nuts, with the default gearing just to turn down stock, they seem to not lock immediately but take a moment and then engage with a clunk. I'm planning on doing some threading in the near future and this behavior doesn't make me feel confident.
I came across something (article, post, not sure) that delved into resynchronizing the lead screw with the thread dial and half-nuts but I cannot remember where.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
