Smithy 1220XL power feed turning

Post by jgairguns »

Hi,

I have a Smithy 1220XL and have used it for many years. I now, am faced with a large turning job and would like to use the power feed to rough turn most of the material away before a finishing cut. Has anyone any suggestions for a stop that will shut off the feed mechanism reliably?

Have you looked at the power feed set-up used on the ShopTask Tri-power and Eldorado machines? My machine has this feature.
