Just noticed Nick Cook demoing the Powermatic 24-32. He throws the switch to reverse while the lathe is running in the forward direction. Does anyone else do this? Isn't it hard on the motor. I would suspect that because he was turning a small spindle he could. I am sure too much resistance would kick in the override and he would be pulling the plug to reset the speed control. I have a 3520 and always shut it off before changing directions.
