Hammer drill will have a right hand spindle, but a left hand cover sunk screw to keep the chuck from coming off.

 

do not have the original switch anymore, got misplaced. I put it where I could remember where I put it, but can't remember where I put it.

 

Did you read post#2???

 

Re: Post #14
Was the replacement switch you got that didn't fit from Bosch? Does Bosch still have that switch available? This site claims to have replacement parts for that drill: http://www.ereplacementparts.com/bo...percussion-drill-parts-c-128_1010_447300.html

Is the on/off switch and reversing switch integrated into one unit? On my hammer drill, they are separate.

The TS, post #4, made it clear it was a Bosch, reversible hammer drill. What is so hard to understand about that?

John

You might have nothing better to do than read every single post...............................

In the OP - both subject line and message body asked how to wire a switch to make the drill reversible.

You can split hairs all you want, but the wording of the OP seemed clear enough.

 

Why would a REVERSIBLE drill NOT be designed to have REVERSE? I am confused?

And why would it have a forward/reverse switch?

The TS didn't say it was a reversible drill, and asked how to wire a reversing switch.......................

No, he didn't say it was a reversible drill. He DID say the drill's Fwd/Rev switch was bad (Post #4). I thought it a reasonable conclusion that a drill with a Fwd/Rev switch was thus reversible (at some point in time).

 

Yes this is an electric older Bosch 1/2" hammer drill model 1198VSR

From post #4, just the model number says it's a 1198VSR (variable speed reversible).

Try contacting the seller on eBay...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bosch-26072...or-1169VSR-1198VSR-Torque-Drill-/361458861057

He seems to be a very popular and good seller. Also offers a return policy (15% restocking fee). Not bad (better than most suppliers of electrical parts).

Not in post one he didn't:

"I am trying to reverse a hand drill with a DPDT switch, need a little help on how to wire it.".

Like I said - you may have nothing better to do than read EVERY SINGLE POST. I answered the question that the TS asked - and now you won't stop whittering on about it.

 

I have never seen a hammer drill. Why don't you simply buy a hammer and a drill and you won't have any problems.

 

@Colin55

Have you drilled many holes in dense concrete? How big? How deep?

A hammer drill makes drilling concrete not much more difficult than drilling wood.

Depends on the concrete - I've encountered stuff that just grinds the end off the bit.

Breeze block, some bricks and occasionally concrete cut just fine without selecting the hammer function.

My cordless isn't hammer, so the weaker materials are a big relief in places I can't run an extension lead.

 

Some concrete (really cheap stuff) can be cut with a shovel. In fact, the DOT (independently of me) developed a friable concrete for barricades at toll booths. I did the same for concrete around my barn -- it is hard enough to discourage ground hogs. but not so hard as to screw up by mower.

My post include the word "dense," meaning >3000 psi concrete. Is that something else you didn't have the time to read?

Who removed the "this guy is an idiot" button? I would have used it twice today!

Oh, I've stopped. Any point that I wished to make has been made.

 

Perhaps this may be of some help in the real world. This is how my drill is wired for reversing.

Its absolutely guaranteed to turn up when you're looking for something else..........................
