This is a serious question, and no I'm not insane.
I have an idea for using just the head assembly fo a radial arm saw, but for a different use.
Unfortunately, I'd need it to spin in the opposite direction, like a circular saw.
I know that many motors can be somehow "wired in reverse, to make this happen, but does anyone know if this would be true of ANY motor I might find in such a saw?
To be clear, this would be with a 12" 220v saw, so I assume that would mean it's an induction motor. (though I don't really know yet.)
Also, is this something I could do fairly easily, knowing very little about motors? I've seen some videos on the subject, but they are ot as clear as they might be.
thanks.
