Yes there is another switch on the cover on the gear end as well as the foot brake I checked them all out when looking for my non-existent problem. Ed I should look at my lathe better it was sold as a 12x40 but will swing considerably more than 12 without removing the gap, IT looks a lot like your lathe and I understand in China most of the mfrs buy the castings from 1 or 2 companies that just do casting with no machining, perhaps the beds are the same. tom
