Has this ever been done before? If so ask your racing buddies how they do it because I don't have a clue.
Thinks I wanted to do that first but the set screws that hold the brass case for the brush has lock tight on them and a cant brake them loose. I can try and cut the wires and swap them that way, but there's not much length to the wires. And these routers will never be used for anything else besides powering my racer.

To reverse the rotation of the router, you will need to change the wiring inside the router in order to do this. Nothing at the power cord point will work for doing this. Probably swapping the wiring to the brushes will be the easiest to get to. The polarity of the armature with respect to the field coil needs to be opposite from what it is. Swap either the armaturs (brushes) or the field wiring and it should reverse.
Don't leave it this way after you finish with your belt sander project or you may ruin some prospective woodworker's day.

You could change direction if you geardrive off the router shaft.Thinks I wanted to do that first but the set screws that hold the brass case for the brush has lock tight on them and a cant brake them loose.

been around a long time...Since when did belt sander racing become a thing
Well I'm only doing what others are, besides I'm racing to win! If you not first your last! LolUsing routers in a belt sander race sounds like the current uproar over Olympic transgender competition...![]()
Well actually 27,500rpm per router and I'm using 2 at a combined 3.5hp, I'm hoping it'll be fast, and I'm using 24 grit and 2 belts!10K plus RPM ...yup, that'll go fast!
What grit belt do you use?
*It just occurred to me: if you used a couple of Bosch 1617's that'd be over 16 lbs for the routers alone!
Ya its pretty big in a few states ran by bar owners here in south TexasWoW!!.... make sure you post the video!! Talk about needing a long cord.......
Well, just checked Youtube.... amazing!! I've never heard of this before, looks like fun.
Nope, just like drag racing, there are different classifications! And they have an association, the BSRA (belt sander racing association).Using routers in a belt sander race sounds like the current uproar over Olympic transgender competition...![]()
