A lathe in a small wood or metal shop has a motor that connects to the lathe by belt. In a "direct drive" lathe the motor connects directly. I assume that "all gear" means direct drive, no belt. A belt drive protects the motor from damage and reduces vibration of the lathe. In addition, the belt allows you to change the gear ratio and thus the speed of the lathe without changing the motor speed. Belt drive is superior in terms of both performance and longevity.
The back gears on a lathe can be changed to enable it to cut an even wider variety of thread pitches.

All gearboxes work the same way: there is a gear on the motor, a gear on the thing you're trying to drive, and sometimes a set of gears between the two. The ratio between the gears, plus the RPM of the motor, determines the speed of the workpiece. If the gear on the motor is larger than the gear on the workpiece the RPM of the workpiece will be higher than the speed of the motor. If the workpiece's gear is larger, the workpiece will turn slower than the motor. Given that, though, I've never seen a gearbox on a wood lathe. Wood lathes use belt drive for two reasons, the most important being safety--if you get a catch, a workpiece on a belt driven lathe won't damage you as badly as a workpiece on a gear-driven lathe. Also, belt drive won't feed vibration from the workpiece back into the motor and damage the bearings. Gear drive is used on metal lathes.

Jacques de Vaucanson built the first all-metal lathe around 1751, according to Book Rags. Henry Maudslay, who is considered the "father of the industrial lathe," invented the first screw-cutting engine lathe in 1797.
In auto lathe machine, All the processes is automatic from the beginning to the end . Machine take working pieces from the workpiece box where all the pieces loaded initially,then all the processes done on the workpieces as per the command is given initially . final product comes out finally. But in semi lathe machine , all the work is same as automatic lathe but feed is not automatic it done by manually by technician .

The definition of a bench lathe is defined as a lathe mounted on a workbench. There is no other meaning for these two words other than a lathe mounted on a workbench.
