dusty wroteHe's just trying to figure out whether the shaft turns CW or CCW when the motor goes CW.
Most drills run CCW(reversable ones excepted)!
BTW Mike, I doubt that old work horse ran but one direction. I give him an A for originality!!!!!:cool:
Ever try drilling a hole with a reverse twist bit and a drill that is running 'forward'(CCW)?:( I bought a set at a yard sale, and one of the bits had a reverse twist! It IS less embarrassing than trying to drill with the drill running backwards(CW).
Note: All CW/CCW references are made relative to the apparent direction of rotation of the shaft when viewed from a position along a line coincident with the axis of rotation.;) This is consistent with Dusty's earlier definition re motors.(different thread)
