Ever consider flipping the motor around on its base?

(Puts the switch back in the front, and the power cord in the back).

Pretty easy mod on most grinders.

CB,

I did not "get it" what you meant.  I thought you meant taking the housing apart and turning the motor windings/shafts around inside the motor housing.

But...  what you meant, I believe, is to unscrew the bench mounting base from the motor housing and turning the latter around over the base.  Doh!

I just did that.  Takes me a while sometimes.  Thanks.

Rick
Quality is like buying oats.  If you want nice, clean, fresh oats, you must pay a fair price. However, if you can be satisfied with oats that have already been through the horse, that comes at a lower price.

Can't believe you didn't understand it from my "detailed" explanation!  ;)  (My bad for not providing more info... should have added a picture or something... it's how I learned about it).  But glad you figured it out. :)
