I really like this Mod Joe, maybe one day I'll get around to doing this. I really find it irritating that I continuously need to press the handwheel inward to keep it engaged all the time, I would like to do away with that.
Oops wrong button again. What I was trying to say is that the lathe is much more user friendly after the mod. You will thank yourself for many years after it’s done. Joe
Ouch I can’t believe I missed that, they were mod 1 gears one 60 tooth and two 20 tooth . I found them on eBay, sadly they are from China. 😿 thank you for your interest. Joe
I love how you feel if something is not right then "I'm gonna fix it" Nice job on your upgrade. 👍
Thank you for your interest and your intelligent comments. I appreciate your high level insight. Joe
Great mod , Thanks for another great video
Thank you for your comment and your encouragement. I hope you found the video useful. Joe

@@bruceang82 Hi Bruce, If you do ,also change to a larger hand wheel. This is one of the best things I’ve done to my lathe and it’s a real pleasure

Great video. I just got a PM 1228 and can't wait to do this my lathe. How many teeth on the gears and where did you get the gears?
