Hello all. New guy here and really psyched to say a new PM25 is be headed my way soon. I have a power feed question or two and I'm hoping someone might be able to shine some light on.
My understanding is that the transmission in the PM add-on Power Feed can't be disengaged for easier cranking when manually working the table. This seems like a real disadvantage for someone doing manual work because of the extra effort and noise. Is this the case with all power feeds? If not, can anyone recommend a better alternative? (Way back I worked on Bridgeports w/power feeds, but it's been so long I forgot how they operated/whether they permitted the tables to freewheel manually.)
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
