[HELP] Edgewick Light Type Lathe help

Dan, it seems that your gearbox is in screwcutting mode so shifting the lever is meaningless for what you are trying to achieve. If you read the scale on the lower section it gives you feed rates but it clearly refers to "sliding gears" so until you find out how to change them then you are probably stuck with high feed or screwcutting speeds, it's on the plate !
