Re: Drill Motor Adjustments -Rev vs Forward
Quote:

Dredging up very old memories from my school days, I think the reason for difference in fwd vs. rev speed is due to optimization of the angular position of the commutator brushes vs the permanent magnet (stator) field, designed to maximize torque. Think of it as being the DC motor equivalent of cam timing in internal combustion engines.

Yup the drill motors are timed in one direction. They are either timed in counter clock wise or clock wise. I believe they are timed in the direction that drills are most commonly used in (forward not reverse). Unfortunately I have no idea what direction that is.
