So your saying you don't have to reverse the motor?  :scratch:

That is correct. I reversed my motor and now have a mill that spins backwards. ( I just ran out and checked after reading your post about not having heard of others having to reverse their motors)

My 1st job later on this afternoon will be to restore the wiring to the original state.

So just to repeat, there is no need to reverse the motor with this belt drive conversion.

I'm not sure where I had got the idea that it needed to be reversed, probably the ramblings of a deranged fool ( me )

Tim,

Here's an idea you might want to try. Since your going to have to open that box again and change the wires back, have you thought of maybe installing a reversing switch? It sure would come in handy when tapping.

Just a thought.  :med:

That's a good thought  :thumbup: I may not get doing that today, but I think that'll be going on the growing list of things to do  :proj:
