I think it’s time to put on my Engineering cap and come up with a hack for reverse on these mixers. Should take a couple dpdt switches and elective surgery.

It’s been a while, but if it uses a split phase motor with a centrifugal switch in the start winding circuit, you can add the switch there to reverse the motor.

processhead all mixers are not created equal. Time to prepare the operating room🥲

processhead they make a all in one motor reverse switch. But it would take a 6 conductors power cord

processhead The scope in the first vid is older than i am… And that’s old

All i know about electricity is you dont want to get it on you.

Been there and got the torn tee for it.

I find it strange that my #8 LEM grinder that no attachments fit has reverse, but the #8 and up grinders that the attachments fit does not have reverse.

Grimpuppy Reverse feature on a grinder is useful on those rare occasions when a grinder jams or stalls on a chunk of fat.

processhead I find reverse is very valuable when a mixer is attached. Especially when making a small batch in a BIG mixer. The reverse feature helps pull the meat back into the middle from the edges.

Grimpuppy That’s good to know. I didn’t know any LEM grinders had reverse. Learn something new every day.
I’d say your #8 with reverse is begging to have a 25lb LEM mixer attached to the other end! -

Agree. A power mixer needs forward and reverse controls.
Ok, how to enjinear that forwards and backwards control into a handmixer???

I got a couple ideas but haven’t really dove into it much yet. It has a stuffing speed that is slow and grinding speed that is faster. Need to check rpm on stuffing speed to see if it is slow enough for a direct drive.
