If they did, the saddle hand-wheel would be on the left (as it is on my 1327
Lathe) and then you get the 'ot swarf when using this.

6 of 1 and half-a-dozen of the other.

Hi Patrick

[SNIP]
Which brings me onto one of my big grumbles with the Myford lathe.  The 
leadscrew engagement lever is on the left of the saddle, which means that 
when you are holding the lever and getting ready to disengage, you have to 
put up with hot swarf bouncing off the back of your hand!  Why they couldn't

put it on the right, I'll never know.

Regards
Ron
