I recently bought a 7x12 Homier and so far so good. The question I
have is when I shut the varible speed knob to off and manually turn
the lathe backwards I can feel a restriction. If I turn the electric
switch to off it goes away. Its like the electronics are holding it
from being turned easily. The main question is will this hurt the
electronics? Its a pain to turn off the speed control and main switch
just to turn it backwards a turn or so. When it is in reverse the
same thing happens. The restriction is felt only in one direction not
the direction that forward reverse switch is set. Thank you for any
help Ken
