I'm having trouble getting broken bolt out! So my question is the shaft the shaft coming out of motor or can I just change the pulley for the transmission?
My father had a small benchtop drill press that had a fwd/reverse switch on it. I remember this because he was having difficulty drilling in hard maple and thought his bits were dull. He bought new bits and still had problems so he called and asked if I could help. As soon as I saw the bit start to turn it was obvious to me what was going on. On some motors you can change a jumper to reverse the rotation. On a belt drill drill press you could possibly twist the belt to reverse the rotation on one pulley. I have never tried this but it seems like it might work in a pinch.Does anyone have a drill press that will run in reverse? Asking for a friend 🤣
