Thread: Myford ML10 - Disengaging the Autofeed
12/10/2020 14:44:03

Guys, I'm overwhelmed. I wondered if I might get a reply on my problem and I got 10 in a day. Thanks so much for the help. Lots of technical stuff mentioned above as well as "check it and see if its adjusted right", so I'll start going through the various options and see. I just looked up the clutch arrangement and that seems to be a mod that would help. Don't see a price anywhere, but broke the bank buying the lathe so it might have to wait. lol

Wonderful support for a complete noob, so thanks again to everyone and I'll post an update to help anyone else who might have the same problem

Hello All.

Thanks for a great forum, hope to learn a lot here.

I've just bought a second hand ML10 to start learning with and have what I think is a really stupid question that I would appreciate help with.

As I state above, when the autofeed lever is engaged the autofeed works correctly and the carriage moves strongly. However, when I release the autofeed lever the carriage still continues to move. The carriage can be reversed manually but then starts going forward again.

Is this correct and I have to dismantle the autofeed gears each time, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for any advice
