hello all,
Well, finally got finished restoring my old 1919 Dalton 7 x36 lathe tonight. Threw the switch to take a test cut and low and behold noticed the chuck was turning the wrong way! The antique Westinghouse 1/4 hp motor I sourced some time ago, and recently installed, apparently is wired to turn CLOCKWISE -which spins the lathe in reverse!
Anyway to rewire this thing to turn counterclockwise. I only see two terminals for the (110v) load. Here are some pics of the business end of the motor.
Thanks much,
Glenn
