Surely the foredom motor can be wired with a switch to reverse? Anyone have info on this?

Id like to figure out how to reverse mine

There you go Keith, easy-peasy !
My TX is wired for forward and reverse, took 20 minutes.

44?

Yup

Great thread fellas! I'm just a fly on the wall watching and hoping to someday grow a set and finger a cylinder.

The TX is a DC motor so it's easy. If it's the S or other models that are AC you'll to only reverse the polarity on the starter windings. The primary and starter windings are probably wired together currently so you'll have to an another wire from the switch box to the windings. The starter windings will have a capacitor in series with them and be higher resistance.

I got my Foredom from Mitch Weber, and it has a reverse switch that he said was your handiwork.

It does work fine.

Thanks brother

Thanks brother

It's just a couple of months since you asked ............

Wow I not even sure what this finger port stuff is all about but its awsome! !!!

Yup, I did that. I think on that model of foredom the windings are not phased 180 apart so you can only get 2/3's power and speed in reverse. Still better than not having it.

I wondered why it was slower in reverse.

I rarely use it that way.....but as you said......very handy when needed.
