When looking for my mini lathe I did find a few brands with back
gear 7x12 .
But then cost and weight when up.?
If I had problem needing I had room to put a Bridgeport type back
gear.?
I just machined a back plate for my 4 jaw chuck.?
I turn at a higher speed and had only little belt slipping.? After
putting the problem on this group using molasses fixing the
problem and high speed.?
FYI I do think back gears are good thing but weight and cost is
not.
Dave?
