Reversing a Midi lathe

Email sent,like I said I called Ricons tech support and they said it would work,but you may want to double check with an electritian to be safe.

 

If it has a DC motor it can be reversed. All you have to do is swap the leads. To do it electrically you need a switch which I believe would be a double throw double pole but would have to make a sketch. You can do a google search and probably find the schematic for doing that. I think I've seen it.
If it's not a DC motor and wasn't designed to reverse then you can't do it with out changing the motor.
