Thread: Angle grinder question
18/02/2017 12:58:33

The simple answer is yes. Angle grinder rotates in opposite direction as thread pitch. It is general rule for all nut clamped tooling.

All universal motors can run in both direction (theoretically) - you need to change polarity of rotor, However most of the motors are designed only in one direction (to reduce wear brushes are placed out of the shaft axis ), opposite direction run will cause huge brush wear which will probably lead to failure.

Only motors with brushes aligned with shaft axis can run in both direction.
