I've had times where I'm taking a decent DOC on my 9A, with what feels like a halfway decent feedrate. Try to use the power feed, and the lathe stalls instantly.
I'm sure 80% of this is not realizing what feed rate I have when handfeeding vs power feed, and picking a feed rate that's much higher than what my approximate feed fate was by hand.
But part of it has to be friction losses in the drive train of everything up to the saddle. Does anyone have an approximate idea of how much of your power is consumed?
This is mostly just for the sake of curiosity.
