(False) neutral: so far as I can see from a quick look at the Myford manual, this point, elementary to seasoned users, is not mentioned. The facility seems to me to be essential.

I wish the OP happy screwcutting!

When you change ranges with the three position lever on the top of the gearbox casing, it is as well to rattle the leadscrew handwheel back and forth whillst engaging gear. I have found on mine that if I don't it can appear to be engaged but slips out after a few revolutions.
