    Can this single phase 120v motor's direction of rotation be reversed?

    Shipping is a bitter pill to swallow.

    Can this single phase 120v motor's direction of rotation be reversed?

    Thanks for looking! I have a line on a free dryer. We’ll see what comes of it.

    Looks good! I didn’t watch the video - (@Susquatch must be rubbing off on me) where does the HSS go?

    Can this single phase 120v motor's direction of rotation be reversed?

    It's just for a 1" belt sander. Harbour Freight style. 1/4 horse or so would be perfect. 1/2" shaft and CCW.

    Can this single phase 120v motor's direction of rotation be reversed?

    Remington auction

    I have always wondered why they don't just say "Minimum Bid" rather than "Reserve Price not met". It's not like people can't figure out the reserve price/minimum bid. The moment it is met, the "Reserve price not met" notice will disappear. And I agree, Remington was a national institution.

    Can this single phase 120v motor's direction of rotation be reversed?

    I'm trying to fix a 1" belt sander and need to reverse the direction of a motor I have. I THINK this one can be reversed. I did one similar a couple of years ago, but can't remember what I did. I also can't get to the one I rewired to see if I can figure out what I did the first time. Is...
