I put this Carriage Lock on my LMS 4200 7x12 mini-lathe. It’s fine for acing when locked down, but when unlocked for turning, the handle is loose and jiggles around. I snapped the handle off on a run when it jiggled forward under the spindle and hit a lathe dog.
Did I have it set up wrong? It’s tight over the read bolt when locked (as in the picture below) but when unlocked, does not remain in position over the rear bolt.
