mini-lathe leadscrew clutch?

(1/9) > >>

MetalMuncher:
I have mounted a handwheel on the RH end of my mini-lathe leadscrew, but the only practical way to make use of it means removing a gear. I'd like a more convenient solution. So I am wishing I had some kind of dis-engagement clutch in the leadscrew shaft near the driven end of it. Has anyone done this, or seen it done? Something fairly simple would be best.

Brass_Machine:
I have seen it done. I will look for the link.

I've always wanted to try a planetary system with a band brake like an old model-T transmission. 

MetalMuncher:
Thank you, Brass_Machine.

Rick that would surely be an interesting project, but it sounds rather complex. :)

rick barnes:
Probably.  I have a problem with doing that.
