Norman’s Reverse Tumbler Plans for a Grizzly G0602 10×22 Lathe

Bear with me! (new to Lathes) The Grizzly G0602 does not have reverse? I ask because I have a friend thinking of buying one!

I have a SBL 9A and just assumed all lathes had reverse.

I enjoyed looking at how you got around this.

most smaller import lathes do not have reverse tumbler for feed/threads, but do have reverse spindle speeds. the tumbler reverse for feed/threads is one of the more common upgrades done to the smaller imports.

What are you calling reverse? Reverse on a lathe reverses the Spindle and also the feed at the same time. A Tumbler reverse only reverses the feed via an idler gear added.
