Re: Optimal Direction of the Drill and Chips
I'm actually pretty sure the drill motors will rotate at the same RPM's in either direction, since in an actual drill, the direction of the rotation does not matter, it's simply reversed. I believe Lord Nerdlinger is correct, that the current is the same in each direction, so the RPM's will not change, since the gearing is the same. I'm not sure about the chip motors, but I'm assuming they are the same situation as the drill motors.
