The SX2.7 is the same you can switch direction while running and it just slows to a halt and then ramps up to speed in the other direction though the sympathetic user in me means that I will stop it first.

Infact the tapping feature is simply a fwd/rev switch on the end of the quill handles that changes direction at the speed selected (will only do this below 500rpm)
