where to post

I cannot decide the correct place to post this so I will try here. Here is the question

My bell knife splitter is on about a 4' long table with the splitter to one end and the motor toward the other.

I need to replace the motor, and in interest of saving space I would like to shorten the table, and mount the motor directly under the skiver. In order to do this I would have to flip the motor around, and that in turn would revers the rotation direction.

Will it work like this?

would it hurt anything?

Does this make any sense?

Thanks for any feed back you may have.

I'm not much of an electrician, but I think most electric motors can be rewired fairly easly to run in either direction. Maybe yours can't, don't know.

Good luck,

Rob

Dink,

I thought I replied to this earlier, but appears that my dog ate the homework. My clutch motors have had a switch to reverse the direction of rotation. If you just swap ends and don't change the rotation, I would suspect the feedwheel would be going in reverse.
