Optimal Direction of the Drill and Chips

[JoshJ]

Does anyone know if reverse power/speed is a constant (or close) percentage of forward power/speed for the drills, or if a drill in reverse matches a drill in forward up to a certain point? Thanks

last year, we never had any problems with the motor we were running in forward. The motor assembly we were running in reverse practically melted the whole back end of the motor...one big goop of melted pastic on the back...and we were getting close to destroying the second...it is extremely important that you run them in the same direction...we went out of our way to construct a gearbox soley for the purpose of makign sure both motors were runnign in the same direction
