That's good to hear, otherwise you'd have to run your lathe hanging upside down from the ceiling like a bat.I'm left handed but really am more comfortable with the usual configuration.

When one is left handed a person learns very quickly to adapt to the ways of the world.That's good to hear, otherwise you'd have to run your lathe hanging upside down from the ceiling like a bat.
It's the scissors and tin snips that would ruin my day!When one is left handed a person learns very quickly to adapt to the ways of the world.
This makes sense, our 15" is a gap bed.The right hand handwheel is quite common on European machines, especially if they have gap beds, I guess it makes sense so far as getting your hand burnt or cut by chips, If you were raised with one, I guess it would feel natural, but if not it would take a lot of getting used to and feel clumsy at best.
When my son was young, If he stuck out his left hand, I made him give me his right hand, It's a right handed world and I figured I was doing him a favor. My Dad was left handed, And watching him write was painful to watch.When one is left handed a person learns very quickly to adapt to the ways of the world.
Easy to make a right handed machine. Now it's an Enco not an Ocne
