The chucks are on adapter discs, and it has been long enough since I had it off that I don't know if the spindle nose is even threaded. But I've never unscrewed it running in reverse either. Running this motor backwards discloses that the fan/pulley backs itself off quite easily. I think if I was to make use of the reverse, I would probably superglue the threads. Thanks Andy.
