Greets! I have a LMS 3536/Sieg C4 lathe that for the most part is doing ok - especially after I REALLY learned to tighten things up GOOD.
Now I see an odd issue - when I do a power feed cut on the diameter, I'm getting a good finish. When I stop and hand-crank the carriage back out - there is a rather heavy cut being done again - seems a bit more than just spring. What might be causing the movement when hand moving the carriage as opposed to power feed?
