Daryl---I would look for another motor with the correct rotation or a reversible rotation motor to solve your problem---do you know what the correct rpm to the shaper is---if not--you can speed it up or down with pulleys after you get the correct rotation---Dave
Dave Smith, thank you for your ongoing mentorship!
Given the animations, I spent some more time with her today. Turning her over by hand and watching the motion of the scotch yoke. Forward/Reverse interesting stuff!
This motor has V belts which drive a 4 speed transmission. You may recall the the two step flat belt pulley I turned to drive the flat belt on the shaper. A jack shaft isn't going to fit well. With HM threads help I've learned to replace motor bearings, I'm insecure about trying to flip the stator.
A new motor is likely the better option.
She makes for a nice finish as is. However, the idea that it might do even better is great.
The downside is that I've got a lead on a GE universal, if she has the power down-feed clapper it might be hard to turn down.
Which means I might make this one available.
Regardless, I want to get the stroke right!!
