[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1308599, member: 13632"] I personally have never found the foot brake useful on any lathe I've used with it, if I'm cutting metric threads and am forced to leave the half but engaged I'm just reversing and with drawing in the same motion then reversing and dialing back into the cut on the other end, course I can do this without burning a motor up because I spent the $300 to convert to three phase at the machine. I like the idea of a foot brake, I've seen many guys wire a VFD and program it for braking, I've seen it wired to a sensor so the lathe would shut of and brake at a set point, which I found very interesting!!
