I have a Laguna Platinum series horizontal mortiser on order and noticed on thier website that they offer both left-hand and right-hand rotation mortising cutters.
It seems that with the cutters on a direct motor mounted collet, the motor could be bi-directional. Basically, you wire it for the desired rotation.
If all of my standard end mills are right-hand, and I want to use them in the mortiser, the mortiser should turn right, right?.
Laguna is not sure which way they turn or if the motor is wired for bi-directional rotation.
They are looking into it.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
