I have a 1964 Bridgeport mill with a US Motors, 1.5 horse Power, wired for 230v 3 phase. 4.2 amps @ 220v.
The Previous Owner had the supply line fed from a breaker to the drum switch.
Now that I have my RPC working, 2 hp max motor. I would like to power up my mill.
Looking at a motor starter, with heaters and a two button, 3 wire switch.
I have to finish my bansaw first, but wanted to start planning what I need to get the mill going next.
My question is do I need a reversing motor starter? Or will the drum switch work just fine with a properly sized motor starter?
