[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1308486, member: 17844"] No that's not how an instant stop foot brake works . It matters not which thread range you are on that's all about gear ratios and has nothing to do with lead screw type . It just allows the split nuts to stay engaged for the whole time you need to cut the thread . Meaning you don't need to use the thread dial to reengage the split nuts every pass because they stay closed . All you need to do is hit the foot brake and withdraw , move to reverse , stop , wind back in to next cut depth , engage forward . Instant stop foot brakes are more than gravy they are very useful and a great safety feature . [/QUOTE]
