Abstract: A drain cleaning machine for moving a snake in a drain. The drain cleaning machine includes a rotating shell, a motor, radial drive mechanism, a translate mechanism, and a selection mechanism. The selection mechanism includes an actuating lever moveable between an activated position and a deactivated position, a selection plate moveable between a radial drive position and a translate position, and a push plate.
