  • Re: Is it possible to reverse the rotation of a radial saw motor?

    From Chris E@21:1/5 to All on Sat Nov 19 21:45:03 2022
    Repurposing the motor for an old Bell Saw planer router. Need a counter clockwise rotation. Wondering if switching the leads on the starter relay will reverse the polarity. Haven’t worked up the nerve to try it yet.

    Through gearing yes, electrically nope.
