Adding a Reversing Switch

[John S.]

I need to add a reversing switch to an electric motor. It is CW now and wish to have the ability to switch it to CCW. I have heard that there is a switch box or device that can be purchase to do so and wired to the motor.
Does anyone know where I can buy the switch?

I am making a disk sander.

thanks in advance.

It depends on the motor. Some only go one direction, some can be reversed. Check out one of the catalogs mentioned, and compare the type of motor you have to the types which their reversing switches are compatible with.
