I just acquired this lathe and my problem is this. On bowls,when the lathe is set at high speed, I cannot get the tool close into the bowl next the faceplate. The speed handle is in the way. The tool rest is ok but the speed handle interferes with movement of the turning tool. Anyone else with a 1442 have this problem and if so, is there any fix for it? Can the speed adjustment handle be re-oriented to point down instead of up.
