Advice for Atlas 10100 lathe
I bought an Atlas model 10100 lathe. In setting it up, I have run into a problem I can't figure out. I hope someone else can.
When in high-speed configuration, it functions fine. But when I deploy the back gear, all 3 shafts lock up in both directions, and I can't see anything which is causing this. If I remove the drive belt and disengage the back gear, all 3 shafts (motor, idler, and lathe drive) spin freely. Engage the back gear, and they are all locked together. The back gear lever moves easily and snaps into both engaged and unengaged position without problem.
