I like the reverse switch for two instances 1. lefties like it mentally, even though since throwing requires ambidexterity, it hardly matters 2. When I make spiral ware, I like to trim the inside. I am not as ambidex as I would like, so I find it hard to get at the inside with my more sure-footed right hand to trim in the correct direction. With the wheel reversed, it is going opposite, agin the grain the way i like it for trimming. And by the way, the York Kickwheel conveniently spins both ways. I recommend it highly. I have six of them in constant use in my program.

complication.

Through this discussion I've heard some very good reasons to have a
reversing switch. So perhaps if it isn't too costly, it would be best to
include it. Could be a real advantage when competing against so many wheels
that don't have one.

I use the reversing switch enough that I have had to remake it twice. I
do use my foot to switch and my shod foot isn't all that careful.
