Project is moving forward to power feeds.

................ Why I build whole clutch by myself and didn't use a car air conditioner electromagnetic clutch? - Clutch from AC is huge.

I have used clutches from car AC on a lathe spindle motor, but as you say they are too large to be suitable for axes drives.

What happens when the two halves of the dog clutch try to come together with a high tooth against a high tooth? Does it just spin until the two halves fit together? Do you activate the clutch before the drive motor or are they activated together?
