I have it from a very reliable source that drilling on a variable speed reversing lathe in reverse mode is a BAD idea. For one thing, the drill bit manufacturers only make these bits to cut in one direction. WHY?
Second, the jaw chuck you are using may or actually will come loose, creating wobble and possibly bending or breaking the bit. Worst case is the Jaw chuck may even come off the lathe and put a big dent in your head.:crying:
Just thought I would pass off this warning from a very reliable source.
