Capstan/Turret lsthe spindle direction
What is the 'normal' spindle rotation direction for a industrial turret lathe? I ask, because I'm looking for a roller box tool and almost all the second hand one's for sale look to me like they are designed for a CW rotation (when viewed from the tailstock end). The tool centre height, plus the location of the rollers suggest they will not work on my humble Hercus 9" with the capstan accessory - and normal CCW spindle rotation.
I have seen roller boxes that look right to me for CCW rotation, so they exist, but the one's I've seen are new, for eye watering prices.
Thanks, Tony
