I have a couple Compact5s and its definitely a brushed dc spindle motor. Using a KBC DC speed controller on one of them but I can't reverse it w/o adding some sort of DPDT relay and some time delays. It uses AC input so pretty easy to use.
I've thought about adding spindle reversing for rigid tapping. I'd have to add some sort of DC supply to use the Pico board though.
