Close thing.

Arbalist:
As convenient as it is, perhaps it shows a safety flaw in that particular Lathe. The M300's where I used to work had a similar arrangement. It would be impossible to start most hobby lathes by mistake by dropping something on them luckily!

DavidA:
The Elliott has two clutch levers. One to the right of the saddle,  and one to the left.  The one to the left is directly in line with the chuck.  Hence the accident.

Our Colchester Triumph 2000 has the lever away to the right,  out of harms way. Also it is much firmer to operate than the Elliott.

Dave.
