Is this lathe reversible?

Not that I am aware of. However, it would be best to contact the tech support people from Jet to verify that. I'm mechanically challenged and don't have the instruction manual in front of me. It's a great little lathe. the feature I like the most is the electronic variable speed. That is the most useful of the features, besides it's strong construction and reliability. I am extremely pleased with the machine. Hope this helps.

This lathe is not configured as reversible. It can be made reversible by changing out the SPST on/off switch to a DPDT switch. This, however voids the warranty, So the 1014 /1014VSI ARE NOT REVERSIBLE LATHES, without voiding the warranty.

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

It is reversible. It is strong and I prefer a cord with the right extension cord verse a battery ya might forget to charge or the battery goes bad, I love that the handle will go on and come off with ease and speed. I highly recommend this drill. It is a great gift or investment.

It is reversible, and will drive and remove screws with the proper bit. It has a very fast variable speed so it has to be handled with a light touch.

Yes, it is reversible. I use this tool almost daily for a few years now. Everyone in the shop wants to borrow it.

Yes. This drill is variable speed reversible. It also has hammer mode. Excellent for drilling masonry or concrete.

No, it is not reversible. I had checked the seams on both sides & has the same colors.

No idea. Its a standard 220 VAC 2hp motor. I would suggest you ask your electricians out there if they can do it. Worst case scenario, you could buy a 2hp motor in your country and replace. Trouble with this lathe is, if you ever have anything internal break on it...they offer no means to get replacement parts to assist repair. In essence, you are stuck with a rather large and heavy paperweight that you cant do anything with. I made the mistake of buying one of these and had a gear break internally. I was polishing a rod of stainless with it when it happened, not working it heavy. Anyway, cant get replacement parts. After a year of fighting with them to get a replacement part, I gave up and bought a Jet lathe. I will never buy Central Machinery again. BAD IDEA IF YOU DO!!!!!

Yup, it's definitely reversible - I had to do it also. You have to unscrew the end cap and a few other minor adjustments, but it only takes about 5 minutes. It's all in the instructions.

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

Yes they are reversible. They are almost exactly the same blades. The only difference I see from what came on my planer are the ends.

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 they are reversible. I bought these and did reverse some. Very easy. The levers still curve down.

No, there is no reverse mechanism. But I don't recall us ever having complaints or hearing about any issues from customers regarding this machine.

yes, it can be reversed - it comes all disassembled so that you can place the handle or back rest on either side.

Yes, mechanically, you will have to remove 2 screws and reverse the direction of the shaft.DanCSH

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.
