Hi all,

I recently got a 7x14 Grizzly G0765 mini lathe and have been having fun with it, however the feed direction lever sometimes pops out of gear, causing the leadscrew to stop turning during some operations, even when there's no cutting/load on the chuck.

I've swapped out the plastic gears with metal gears (both drive gears and internal ones) and upgraded the spindles, so I think the general load of the metal gears is pushing the lever a bit. Any suggestions on preventing this?

Thanks!
