Will someone explain to me what the great horror is to reversing a lathe with a threaded chuck spindle. I have run many lathes, most smaller, with threaded chuck spindles, and all with reverse capabilities. Even ones in the Navy aboard ship were equipped this way. If anyone was super safe wouldn't they be?
I have never had, or seen one come loose. Hell, half the time, I have to beat hell out of them to get them unscrewed.
Seems to me, when and where I read this, that it is a newby machinist tale.
Billie-Bob said so. Must be true.:nuts:
