Help - I broke my lathe!
Its a German made Optimum approx. 26 inch center distance. I was running the power feed at high speed, turning a wood bowl, and let the carriage hit the work. Everything works, but the carriage handwheel is hard to turn and not smooth - worse closer to the chuck, where it happened. Everything looks normal (rack, gears, etc.), and the power feed works fine. I haven't checked parallelism or anything yet. Where should I start?
