Quick question regarding spindle direction

[Neale]

Usual direction is clockwise, looking from above. Most cutters are made for this direction of rotation; left-hand cutters are made but much less common. In fact, I've never handled one, although I do have some left-hand drills.

Sounds like spindle is wired backwards!

thats exactly what im thinking, is it possible the polarity is wrong? ie the red and black feed wires need swopping round?
