I've talked the "vega" guru @ Vega about many specifics and aspects of set up and use. He answered with more generalities and "should works". So basically get the basic answers and tips then you adapt your own comfort zone. I do not use the spring loaded lever follower. I found it much simpler to regulate the bite pending on the different woods while being in command and not relying on the template being traced with the bit automatically following a cutting. I guess in a perfect situation the spring in use has it uses but once I stopped dealing with the stop collar nuts I just use a lever mounted bolt on top to lock the cut for trimming. Once it's close to the diameter it's unlocked and you follow with a light hand presure until you get to the template design. Remember you always go down hill to avoid dig ins up a ramp. I have learn alot by doing many turnings. I still learn ways to make it better and easier. I say let the wood dictate the speed, depth and pressure you use. Like you know there is a load of experience on this site. We are all glad to help like the advice you give on the rod forum.
