Depends on the swing of the lathe. Mine swings 12" diameter and is a 3/4. Less swing would need less. Heavier cut and duller tools demand more. That's how you determine if your tools are sharp and your technique correct - the lathe doesn't stall or grab.
I don't reverse, four speeds available of which I use one, the lowest, at ~500.
