Back in July I posted about having a shear element in a feed gear train
to protect the gears. Of course, I never did anything about it and I
just broke a gear!! My *new* to me Jet 1024. I locked the carriage to
do facing and then forget it was locked as I went to do turning. Damn!
And the gear is inside the apron, of course.

The lathe has an interlock to prevent engaging the threading feed screw
and the turning shaft at the same time. An interlock on the carriage
lock is what I needed.

'Guess it's time to get some skill repairing gear teeth. Sigh.
