1 forum posts	Hi Hoping to find some fellow hobbymat md65 owners to help me resolve an issue. I obtained the lathe a couple of years ago and I'm having some issues with the machine. please take a look at this video and maybe someone with more experience with this lathe can help. LINK

This locates the headstock end of the leadscrew. The tailstock end is located by the hand wheel. There is a simple dog clutch to connect the change gears. Best regards Roger

I had a similar issue with mine many years ago and I can't remember the precise details but I don't think the pin is a taper pin, I think on mine it was parallel. Either way from the movement I would say yours is broke! Paul.
