Need Help!- Spindle rotation is reversed? Bridgeport V2XT

[DF-ENTERPRISES]

Hi everybody. This might seem like a simple problem but I'm scratching my head here. My machine runs good but I can't get the spindle to rotate clockwise. I'm thinking that there are wires on the spindle motor that have to be swapped or maybe parameters that have to be changed ?
Any comments will be helpful.

Thanks alot.

Assuming it's a 3-phase motor, just swapping any two power wires to the motor will reverse the rotation.

The spindle can run in both directions. Choosing high or low switch accomplishes that. Since this is a 3 phase device, swapping 2 wires will change direction. This is important because when tapping G84 (with a floating tap holder) the spindle will reverse.
If you cannot start it in one direction, you have a problem.

Thanks for everybodys input. I swapped two of the power lines to the spindle motor and now I'm good to go.
