If the brake does not work, when you turn off the power, the X axis will go all the way down, which happened to me.
You would need to synchronize the spindle with a servo motor and there is no place on the turret also.

When you do threading on the lathe, why no metric thread yet.
Why the only material you can select is aluminum or plastic.
