Ok I also have a drum switch question. Mine is a Furnas. I cannot read the model, but verified with a meter that it works as below.
I am wiring this to a new Grizzly G2528 1/2hp motor on my old Logan Lathe. Currently wiring 110. Drum switch is serviceable, but was not hooked up to original motor (at least since I have had the lathe).
The wiring for this motor is below.
I have had a heck of a time figuring this out. But I think I have it, does this sound correct??
Black from 110v power to terminal 5.
Jumper terminal 5 to terminal 3.
Terminal 6 to motor Wt/BK.
Terminal 4 to motor BL6
White from 110v power to terminal 2.
Also, Terminal 2 to motor Rd/Yl.
Terminal 1 to BL5.
If rotation is backwards vs switch ... swop BL5 & BL6.
This should work to reverse the rotation (I think), however is it kosher to have the white from power cord on the same terminal as the Rd/Yl to motor? Obviously due to them being on the same terminal, the Rd/Yl will always be "live" ... even with drum switch off. I will actually have a separate on/off switch (with panic button) mounted between plug and drum switch ... so maybe this is not an issue.
Is there a better way to do this?
As always ... thanks for the response,
Ed
