[AT] Northern Tool Sale - Left Hand drills

[Richard Fink Sr]

Carl why would it not be possible to put a motor on a drill press that 
would reverse. I have a wood shaper in my wood shop that had a 3/4 horse 
motor that would reverse. It died operator err pushed to hard left all the 
smoke out. Replaced with a 2 horse no reversing.Both of my drill presses 
just have a plate where the motor mounts.
