Optimal Direction of the Drill and Chips

[Lord Nerdlinger]

um, i'm pretty sure they both spin the same speed in both directions. considering it's the same current, driving the same motor, just the other direction

If you don't know the answer, don't reply as though you do.

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.

And if you don't know the answer, don't post in support of someone else who doesn't know the answer!

We've gone through this every year guys - The drills are not symmetric, the CIMS are pretty close. Read the old posts - FotoPlasma put them right in front of you, you don't even have to search for them (heaven forbid anyone would search for an answer first).
