Neat mechanism, it cuts with the pin on the top half of the disk and returns faster with the pin on the bottom half.
Yep, that's the post I was referring too.
Thanks for the explanation. The quicker return now makes sense also.
So to clarify, if you had the motor run backwards, the cut stroke would be the quicker (and weaker) stroke. Correct?
