Is this lathe reversible?

If you mean to reverse direction it turns, I see nothing indicating it would. Neither by getting to know the tool or reading about it in the manual.

Not that I'm aware of. I really wouldn't want mine to be reversible, because if you were using a chuck or faceplate on the headstock end, in the ccw rotation, (reversed) 1''-8tpi at the headstock could easily unscrew and become a very dangerous "missile".

Yes it is reversible but you might want to look at 12v hoists instead. They are rated for loads in both directions.

I would assume you could. Keep in mind that this lathe has a fairly small motor so you would need to be careful you do not over power it.Harold

Yes and a nice feature of the inverter is you do not have to stop the lathe for reverse. If it is running flip the switch, it will slow to a halt and then start up in the reverse direction. Nice for sanding.

No. However they do make adapters that go the other way. But they are not reversible.

Yes it is reversible but it was a pain in the butt trying to figure it because the instructions were vague and useless, but I was able to figure it out.

Yes, it's reversible and variable. Had my drill for a year now - very pleased with it!

Yes it is....2.25 in center / 2.25 offset out....well it is reversible so whichever way you would like to use it

Asked by gene m. What is the turn around for repair if lathe is sent to be repaired?

There is no set-screw of any kind to maintain a safe secure hold of the chuck to the lathe while running in reverse. I do not on mine and would not without something like that available.

Yes. It is very well designed and I am really happy with it. Simple to change from forward to reverse, and a cinch to swap out drill bits or driver heads. Really pleased with this purchase!

Yes sir, this drill is reversible. As far as driving screws, the drill will do fine, but it doesn't have a clutch that can be set. Just be careful.

The only way I think you could do that is if you put a sacrificial piece of wood mounted to the piece to screw to the head stock and then cut it off. I would not recommend that though. Best to use the right tools, you always get better results. BTW, this is a great little lathe, I've used it for over a year now. No issues. First one shipped damaged, no issue with the return and shipment of another.

Yes it is. There is like a switch inside the unit that you turn or flip but yes it is a reversible for sure.

There isn't a reverse switch, the blender reverses as needed all on it's own. I have used mine quite a bit and I love it!!

If reversible means changing the "L" shape to the opposite side, no it is not.

It is reversible. Easy to install, although I had to adjust the spacing a bit from what the directions instructed.
