Hello there , many thanks for all suggestions you really are a friendly helpful gang , I have tried every thing and everything is fine so there is no reason why the auto feed should not work but it doesn’t ,so I will either have to find a service engineer which is proving difficult or just feed manually but as we all know this method leaves a untidy finish ,just a thought tho while I am here ,if I remove the guard that protects the drive travel bar from swathe there is a block that seems to go to the tool head is there any thing inside that block that could have sheared if not I’m stumped of what it could be

Thanks again guys

Hi ,no not to far away at all , I have have a large garage that kitted out for basic joinery that’s where my metal lathe is which I’m have problems with at the moment and general pottering about in there ,my recluse as the wife calls it ,then in workshop 2 that’s where my wood turning lathe is with all the stuff I need like band saw sanders planners thicknesser and of course dust extraction most important

Hi Jason , yes I have done as you say , I forgot to say in post that I have had this lathe quite a long time and it’s been working perfectly it’s just stopped working as it should today
