    Great modification

    Great fix applicable to many lathes. I'm thinking mine needs 2.
    One to shut off the motor. Motor switch is actuated by a lever on the carriage. this one would include driving an electrically actuated brake.
    A second one to open the split nut.
    They would be selectable. I'm thinking I would add a delay on break relay to shut off the air after a second or two.

    Hi Mate! Haven't heard from you lately. Obviously neither have you heard from me. Nice to know you're still around.
