What about tapping?
I use the forward/stop/reverse switch every time I tap a hole in the lathe.
Sea.dog:
Why the "Stop?"
The logic in a VFD uses the ramp parameters to slow the drive to zero then ramps it up in reverse. My pendant has no stop position between forwards and reverse.

Yes it would be useful for that now you mention it but as its now just a simple spst switch it would be no bother to put a second one on the lathe because as Sea.dog says the vfd ramps down the speed before changing directions. I have been thinking only in relation to the problem I have right now (a lathe needing to run in reverse for LH threading with a diehead) and had not considered anything else.

It just happens that my fwd/rev switch has 3 positions and I find it useful if tapping a lot of parts to be able to just use the one switch for fwd/stop/reverse etc. I only have to press the start button once however many parts I'm tapping. Similarly if screwcutting an odd pitch where I can't disengage the half nut I can stop, withdraw the tool, and reverse all using the same switch. (The stop on this switch isn't the same as my my main stop switch - in the centre-off position it just doesn't tell the vfd which direction to run in.)
