Default Forward / Reverse option? Why?

With a variable speed, I use it a lot to put on and remove a

sand the outside in foreward, and the inside in reverse.

The lathe is a "stepped pully design" (I'm sure there's a term for
that) so, reverse isn't going to make mounting a chuck any easier! s
I'll try sanding in both directions, though. Thanks for the tip!
