## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it mt1 or mt2**
A: Mt2

**Q: I just bought this lathe. The forward/reverse switch seems reversed. Lathe turns forward when switch is in reverse position, and vice versa.**
A: looking from the tailpiece toward the chuck: forward is counter clockwise reverse is clockwise. Mine seems to turn a little slower in reverse so if yours is wired wrong at the switch you might consider that. I live in Texas and turn mostly mesquite wood and this lathe does a fine job with it.

**Q: what is the range in speed**
A: 3 ranges each variable. Speed: 250-700, 600-1,800 and 1,350-4,000 RPM

**Q: does this lathe have indexing feature?**
A: Yes, it does have the indexing notches in the lockable wheel.
