    Reverse Switch for a Delta 23-725 grinder?

    I have a slow speed grinder, (Delta 23-725) I was wondering if a reverse switch can be incorporated. Thanks in advance.

    I'm not positive, but doesn't that double-ended shaft have left-hand threads on the left end & right-handed on the right end? Thats so the rotation of the wheels tends to tighten the nuts. If you reverse the rotation . . .

    Don't think it's a good idea.

    Ron, I converted a grinder to use as a buffer and what I did was interchange the left and right guard assemblies so that I could have a reverse direction grinder without the nuts coming loose.

    Regards, Rod.

    Ah yes. Oh duh. I had forgotten about the threads. I am wanting to set one side up for honing. I'll have to look into the reverse guards. Thank you.
