Lathe spindle fwd-rev lever - is up usually forward or reverse ?

dimanche 22 mars 2015

Is there a standard (for Australia) which says which way the spindle control lever should operate?



Is it up for forward, so the chuck direction is opposite to the direction of the lever? That sounds a little "American", like their light switches, but seems to have the advantage that it's a just quick swipe down to knock the lathe back to neutral.



Or is it down for forward, so the chuck rotation follows follows the direction of movement of the control lever. So down for "on" like ANZ, UK, Euro light switches, if you think of forward as "on".



After poking around the various manuals online it seems there's no "right" way, but I'd expect that somewhere buried in the standards, there is a "right" way, so that any machine you walked up to would operate the same way.
