That is a good point about the chuck. OTOH, reverse sure is nice if the spindle nose is stuck. I keep a wood block on the lathe for tightening and sometimes...
also you can't use the back gears if your lathe has no reverse for the motor. I have threaded chuck lathes at work that I throw in reverse all the time to...
I use reverse all the time for rigid tapping (2 and 3 flute taps only, held in drill chuck) and it is especially nice with a VFD (On my pre-war 1020). Have...
Hi Jon: Don't need reverse for the back gears on my Rivett. My Atlas didn't need it either. I also assumed that David would be doing high speed turning,...

Yesterday I got around to fixing a backgear that I damaged months ago. The 608 backgears and connecting shaft are a single casting of gray iron, so I silver...
