Have you ever been here?

You're doing a few hours on the lathe, everything is coming together and the parts are slowly building up and you're doing lots of different operations.

Then all of a sudden the lathe isn't cutting right, you check everything and then everything once again. You start to think "What the hell has happened to the lathe"?

You keep looking for what has happened and why you can't make a simple cut??????......and then you notice it.

The motor is in reverse

Carbide cutters can throw some interesting sparks, can't they?

Similar, I had a new carbide insert tool, and could not get it to cot for a dam. After a lot of checking, setting the height, even tried a different BXA holder. Then I realized the carbide insert was swapped with the support piece. They both looked almost the same, but sure made a difference in cutting ability.

Isn't just a GREAT feeling when you throw that switch into forward and everything back working again like normal !!!!!

No-o-o-o-o-o, I’ve never done that. Not even once. Not even more than once. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
