[HELP] Edgewick Light Type Lathe help

[Dan Boy]

Hi,

I am new to the forum so hi to everyone.  I work in an engineering workshop where we have the usual array of lathes and milling machines.  I build custom motorbikes as a hobby and a milling machine and lathe have always been necessary to do that.  I recently sold my small lathe and bought this Edgwick.  It's a lovely lathe and works well.  Still finding out what all the levers do but they all seem to make sense apart from the feed ratio.

I cannot get the feed to run slow enough for turning, it seems to be always trying to thread cut as it moves too fast in relation to the spindle speed.  I was hoping that someone here would know something about this lathe and be able to offer me some help.

Cheers, Dan.
