When I need to stop the lathe to check on the piece being turned, how do YOU do it? Do you turn the variable speed knob to zero or do you switch the F/O/R switch to “O” check the piece then switch it back to “F” without touching the variable speed knob? I don’t want to hurt anything.
Also, how long can the lathe be "on" with the speed set to zero? Will anything happen if it sits there too long? I’m thinking as if I turned the speed to zero and then walked into my storage room to get something and come back. That kind of time. These may be simple questions but I want to do things correctly.
Thanks.
