DavidA:
Nice demo.  I've had to do exactly that on numerous occasions at work;  but without the variable speed reduction to help. Always was a bit nerve wracking as the last turn approached.

Jonny:
Nice video.

Precisely why i sworn blind i would never buy another lathe that wasnt dual metric and imperial, no faffing around with change wheels.

Had to do similar at work with just the on/off switch and couldnt alter the speed, so used to revolve by hand and power it back.
Luckilly the Harrison i can disconnect lead screw wind carriage back and re engage lead screw again any where for most metric. I try to avoid shutting motor down as it blows a 13a fuse 1 in 3 startups else would wait for motor to stop, start in reverse etc.
Also would scare the crap out of me without a clutch, spindle stop etc.
