I have a flexible tapping arm machine that I installed a electric motor on to use as a drilling machine for some parts I make. It works great except the motor turns the wrong direction and I have to use 3/32" dia. left hand drill bits which don't last very long and I find it hard to see them good enough to re-sharpen them. I tried to find carbide drills but no luck. The motor is a 15th HP Dayton 115 volt AC-DC motor and looks like a sewing machine motor. I think the label says universal motor but that part is pretty much missing. Also wondering if I run it on DC if it would reverse by switching the wires, just don't know how many volts it would take if that would work. I would like to run it at about half the max RPM. Currently I am using a foot rheostat for speed control.
Any help would be appreciated,
Ken
