What direction does the Power Station output shaft rotate? Looking at the switch side of the power head (for front orientation) my output shaft turns top to the back. I suspect it should turn top to front.
Another way to state the rotation direction. Looking from the output side of the power head mine rotates counter clockwise
The motor can be wired to rotate in either direction.
Note: The motor label picture is rotated 180

Thanks for taking the time to reply.BuckeyeDennis wrote:Your suspicion is correct. Mine rotates "top to front", or clockwise when viewed from the shaft end.
I almost said that the bandsaw I have mounted wouldn't work with the rotation reversed. But hey, if I simply flipped the blade around, I could invent the "reverse upcut bandsaw"!
I wonder how flipping the blade would effect tracking?
