Not specific to South Bend, but I have a 220v single phase motor on my lathe. I need to replace the current switch that only has a start and stop button.
The motor is reversible when used with a couple control lines. I want the replacement switch to have a forward and reverse button as well as the stop button. The current switch is on the original bracket, but that places it in a spot in which you have to reach over the spinning chuck in order to turn it off. I plan to move the new switch to one of the guards covering the cone pulley. Much safer position.
I’d like to see what others have done with their lathe. And also where you bought your switch from. Since my motor is not DC, there are two control lines, depending on how they are connected, determines the direction the motor turns. It’s not anything I’ve been able to find that seems correct.
