[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1309395, member: 25383"] best threading system I ever saw was the automatic back off used on Monarchs and the small Hardingh bench lathes. You set the end of travel, and the cross slide automatically backs off one full turn if memory is right. The idea must be copyrighted, or too difficult for the guys west of us. As for a brake, the only time I ever used one was when the spindle was running several thousand RPM. And even then it wasn't a foot brake, but one built into the machine spindle line. Won't matter much anyway as 90% of engine lathes are never set up right from the first moment the power is turned on. gary [/QUOTE]
