The other day I noticed that the power feed rod on my 1127 doesn't extend all the way through the bushing at the tail end of the lathe.
I know it's hard to see in the pic, but the end of the rod is about 0.6" (short) from the end of the bushing. The power feed works fine, but it just seems a little weird that it was built like that. Are they all like this?
 
I did not measure mine, but from my photo the feed rod end seems to be around 0.150" from the end of the bearing block.

My jet is the same way. They should maybe have plastic plugs to hold oil from streaming out. Mine had two missing.
