Its rare to need to run a lathe in reverse for general use.
Its sometimes used in screwcutting on long pieces, if you are doing occasional short threads the lathe can be turned back by hand to keep the tool indexed in the thread.
I agree with Zeto about the motor needing to be reversible.

I hope you enjoy your new lathe.

I have retrofitted a DRO on my lathe which I have found to be a great improvement as I can now flip from imperial to metric measurment at the push of a button.
