Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!
Can this single phase 120v motor's direction of rotation be reversed?

Thanks!
Pulled it off the shelf at the back of the storage shed. Never been opened. PA Price sticker says $69.99. I'm open to offers. It looks like it's clockwise based on "CW DIR END" But I don't know if if can be reversed.
If you are interested I'll open it up and see what sort of shape it's in.

No luck I'm afraid. As the label clearly states the motor cannot be reversed. It's not a capacitor start. At least not externally. As I said it was purchased as one of 3 I think to run the Gingery Projects. I still really want to build the shaper. Not so much the horizontal mill anymore since I'd rather retrofit that feature to my existing mill.
Had a look at my motors today.
Sorry Tom, nothing smaller than 3/4 hp here. Even 3/4 had a 7/16 shaft. Not sure you will find a 1/4 hp with a 1/2" shaft.
But easy to make or buy a bushing.
Try listings in Canada that another member can grab one for you.
Here is a 1/4hp 1750 for $45 in Saskatoon https://www.kijiji.ca/v-power-tool/saskatoon/electric-motors-electric-motors/1689367628

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

Shipping is a bitter pill to swallow.
Ya, but if your dryer motor doesn't pan out, I think you are running out of options.
Btw, I have a dryer here that I have not parted out yet. I'll look at that in the near future too. Who knows, it might be different enough.
If you can find a free or low cost motor, the bitterness of the shipping pill becomes easier to swallow.
