Hi All,
I am currently using one of my mother in laws Rikon lathes so my wife may let me get my own lathe this Christmas (among other toys).
based on how I stand comfortably, I have trouble when I am working near the head and I need to pull the tools towards the head. If I were to get a reversible lathe (such as the Delta) can I reverse my speed and work from the back side of the lathe to get over this hurdle?
Thanks in advanced.
