James,
As I said earlier, I can power tap through holes using ?the Unimat in a vertical mode similar to a drill press and very slows rpm , watch very carefully and stop then reverse rotation while backing out. This would not be possible if I did not have the ability to reverse direction and control rpm. This is all possible only because I have installed 24volt dc motors.
