i know its reverseable but can it do variable speeds?

Greetings:I will give you a qualified yes on the variable speeds. THe motor is a standard brushed DC motor, so load and drive voltage affect speed. You can vary the speed by either varying the drive voltage, or, as in current automobiles, with a pulse-width modulated source.Hope this helps!Terry S.

it is advertised as 50 RPM. I would not think it is a variable speed but you may be able to find one that they make in the RPM you need

Yes, it can do variable speed. It's a brushed DC motor, so varying the current will vary the speed, & reversing the polarity will reverse the direction of rotation. One can use a traditional analog current controller, or a PWM current controller, which will be more efficient. - bc for AnaV

Yes, it is variable. You should buy a PMW controler to vary the speed. But be careful if you need to reverse the motor with a polarity reversing toggle switch. Put the motor leads on the toggle switch, not the power leads.

Yes. I ordered a power supply and a pwm controller from another site directly from china for very cheap. Have had no problem. Can run from 0 rpm to full rpm with 100% duty cycle with no problem. 30 mins is as long as I've run it. Don't see aproblem going longer as the motor was not even hot.

It is reversible, and will drive and remove screws with the proper bit. It has a very fast variable speed so it has to be handled with a light touch.

Yes. Changing the mode will allow for a "pulsating" mode and turning the knob will alter the speed.

This drill is not variable speed, but the trigger can be partially depressed in order to have a slower speed. This drill does have reverse, which is not common on some hammer drills.

Yes, this drill is totally reversible. And, it does a very nice job of going at any speed that you desire. From a crawl to very high speed--either direction. Plus, the switch for direction is very understandable. Get one and enjoy!! ---- Al R. ( It does come with only a few bits, so you might have to buy a few at the hardware store. My sister also told me that this Bosch weighs only half as much as her drill. )

I bought one of these for a boat lift. It can be wired to run either direction but is not readily reversable through a switch. Because of that I sent mine back.

Yes. This drill is variable speed reversible. It also has hammer mode. Excellent for drilling masonry or concrete.

It has a toggle to reverse direction. Only one speed. It's for household convenience use.

It seems to be just a mechanical slide switch, so no reason it couldn't be used in reverse (i.e. one input switchable to each of three different outputs). I just checked and confirmed that with mine.

Yes you can. Reaches down almost all the way, and then you can turn it the other way and reach from a different direction. It's great!

Yes this motor does reverse direction by simply reversing the leads and seems to provide the same amount of torque in both directions. I have a couple of these that I use to power Halloween animations and get sufficient torque using 12 volt power.

Chas, don't waste your time an money, the description of this product is very misleading. I returned mine with all of its accessories. The unit never even got close to its stated performance, I mean come on how are AA batteries going to have such cooling power? But to answer your question it has a rotating on-off wheel which can make it variable speeds. Not a lot of difference between the speeds though.

No reverse.You have to release the forward drive lever and then push slightly forward to disengage the drive system, then pull back manually. That works ok but the machine is fairly heavy for a lot of backing.

Yes, it is a DC motor and will reverse if you reverse the polarity. The direction is polarity dependent. The speed is voltage dependent i.e. lower voltage runs it slower down to about 3V and correspondingly less torque.
816594
Yes it can be configured to flip EITHER left or right, not both at the same time.

forward speed works for 40 or 50 feet. Turning and reverse rarely seem to work much at all. As for the speed being variable, that's up to how hard you can throw it.

What do you mean Reversible? If you mean going in reverse then yes. Absolutely Regarding the handle yes you can switch it depending if you are a lefty or a righty.
