So I am designing a gear train for a X or Y movement on a lathe. And I need a means of disconnecting it. So I am planning on a movable gear, similar to the tumbler gears used for reversing. My question is, is there any convention in the WWM (wonderful world of machining) for ON and OFF? I mean should Up be On or Off? Or is it just a matter of chance in every design?
Lever ON/OFF Convention ???

I can't answer your question with any knowledge on the subject but can say when I'm faced with that questions it is always Power "up" or Power "down". Otherwise I forget how I did it !!- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Thank you to our families of soldiers, many of whom have given so much more then the rest of us for the Freedom we enjoy.
It is true, there is nothing free about freedom, don't be so quick to give it away.
