A search yielded no relevant results, and the manual I have does not address this, so I need to ask. Can the lead/feed screw direction lever be changed/engaged while the spindle is running, or do I need to stop it every time when I engage in either direction?
Since it has provisions to kick it out at the end of a cut I am thinking it can be engaged while running since it would slow things down considerably to stop the spindle to re-engage the feed screw after every cut (if I'm using the automatic disengage feature).
I have tried engaging while the spindle is running and hear a big clunk, which worries me.
Thanks,
Chris
