You would have to make and adapt one for your lathe. As far as I know there are no modern wood lathes with the. Maybe an old one. There are times where it would be nice to have.

I drill my blanks on the lathe and as age catches up with me I am finding it harder and harder turning the wheel.

None off us are getting younger
Have you thought about turning/ making a bigger wheel you could include spokes to assist you with turning(ie boat captain wheel) you would be surprised how it only needs a small increase to be easier to turn....... Just a thought

Interesting idea. I could see a lever if it had ratchet capabilities otherwise travel would be limited.
Some metal turners have adapted their tail stocks so that a lever action is used when drilling If I can find one I will post a picture. Also search for
Not what I was looking for but an idea that could be made look at page 12 at the bottom
Or something like this but then you need some machining experience go to 23:30 in the video

Yes but if you had a Hercus lathe up and running you could make most of the parts in the second one Mark
Capstan and Turret lathes used lever feed as they were designed for repetitive work. For ordinary lathes, both metalwork and woodwork they’re hardly worth it. You could make your own if you want to though:

I found this review on amazon.
This is a pretty small chuck. It doesn't really specify what size chuck, so I took a shot. I was hoping it could be useful for drilling for Pen Turning, but since it's so small, I can't really use it. I can however maybe use it as a pen press to press the hardware together.
