What is an all gear lathe?
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.

How is a lathe machine powered?
Modern lathes are electrically powered. They are equipped with a drive motor which is connected to an electrical source. The drive motor transfers mechanical power to the gearbox of a lathe to enable operation of its spindle and feeds. In earlier times lathes did not have a drive motor. A workshop had a central drive which transferred the mechanical power to a rotating shaft that ran the length of the workshop. All machinery were lined along the shaft and was connected to it via drive belts.
