Amateur with a new lathe here. So as I’m leaning to use my new lathe I’ve noticed changing the gears is not easy. I discovered it’s much easier when the spindle is engaged. This was a very BAD idea on my Craftsman Atlas lathe.
Is this something I should NOT do?? I’m wanting this lathe to last a long time and not do any unnecessary damage or wear.
And these plastic levers are fragile!
Here’s a video to show what I’m talking about. Video of my lathe
