I have recently bought an old Brimsdown bench top pillar drill. I'm gonna guess that it is around 1960's for the year of manufacture. When I got it the motor pulley was running clockwise and not anti-clockwise as I was expecting. I had a check on the wiring and found that it had be recently wired up - more to the point the wires had been stripped back and refitted as they were clean and shiny. I figured whoever did this wiring job didn't really pay attention to what they were doing and got the wires reversed hence the running in a clockwise fashion.
It did get me thinking though that there is a possibility that I would like to run the motor in reverse when I am dealing with threaded parts and I wondered if anyone could confirm if it is possible to run a switching unit that would indeed allow me to select the direction of travel if I needed to choose.
Thanks for reading, Daniel.
