The only thought I had was for an easy way to get an occasional reverse. However I have never owned such a small lathe having been inducted at the age of 8, 64 years ago by my father with overhead drive systems and belt drives and having my own engineering business for a few years with Colchester and Harrison lathes. I was never involved in the electrics. I am now happy to abandon all thoughts of electric reverse. Bob, I am happy with the drive speed and can deal with the change wheels. Thanks all for your help. Whilst here I am interested in purchasing a 4 jaw chuck. The 3 jaw is 3 1/4 inch diam. With 1 inch x 12 tpi thread. So something similar.
