Be careful power feeding to a hard stop. If you overshoot, you won't be able to disengage the feed (don't ask how I know). On some lathes can be a real pain to replace a shear pin.

And on lathes without a shear pin, like my lathe, I'm sure it's even a bigger pain to replace a gear or gears. And more expensive.
