Just wondering how important reverse is on the spindle of a CNC mill ? Of all the people out there with working mills and mill retrofits, how many times if ever do you have a need to run the spindle in the opposite direction ?
The reason I ask is because my controller will not make this easy for me so I will have to mess arround with relays and such like, though if i'm not likley to need such an option I might as well save some time and money.
Your thoughts.. ?

i'm a newbie but the only time I can think of you needing it is for tapping.

Provided you have the vertical clearance to use a tapping head you do not even need reverse for tapping.

Besides, you can't make the mistake of M4 instead of M3(wedge) Originally Posted by Geof
