Motor direction issue
Got my stand for bandsaw set, but one overlooked issue... the motor direction is counter clockwise. Anyone familiar with motor specs that could tell me how exactly I can or cannot change direction? Took a picture of the spec label.

"Rotation CCW - OPE to reverse ... interchange Black with Red leads."
Take off the access plate where the wires enter the motor. There should be a terminal plate.

Re: Motor direction issue
I was hopingmy guess was right. You gave me the confidence to "rewire" it. Lol. It works. I did not fry my motor and all is good.

Re: Motor direction issue
Flashback with the Marathon Electric motor!
I went to work for them as Electrical Engineer after graduating from the University of Wisconsin, BSEE, back in 75.
Designed motors and generators for 8 years.
BTW they are still in business.
