I Broke My

I got a quote back from Toolsystems. $194!
 
Done similar myself, though not caused any real damage. Now the lathe is off unless I'm 100% concentrated on it.

Lop the end off, re-mill the pocket? It's likely not crazy hard....
 
My lathe must have some sort of clutch mechanism that I didn't know it had. The lathe stopped but other than the insert holder on the bar there was no damage.

perhaps you caught it before any damage could happen.

what lathe? is it possible there was a shear pin some where that let go?

You must be right because I do have a feed friction clutch but if the half nut was engaged it wouldn't work.
It's an Acra 1330TVS.
