There is a reverse switch on a Power Station.
The motors for both are the same and can be setup to rotate in either direction.

Ain't quite that simple!
I will let Dusty explain that.

As JPG said, it is not quite that simple unless you are content with removing the motor cover and changing the wires each time you want to change direction of rotation.
With the Crafters Station there are two switches (forward rotation and reverse rotation and a control relay). With the Power Station there is no control relay and changing direction requires that you reconfigure the motor wiring.
I don't know who should be credited with this wiring diagram of the Crafters Station. I just found it on my computer while looking for the other documents that I know I have. I hope it helps anyone who might be interested in the Crafters Station.
