Need help ASAP if not sooner

Those switches are readily available. Walmart’s got em. This isn’t the specs but easily found.

Wal-Mart online is great!

Tires for scissor lift retail 199 for 130.

Honeywell is good stuff but look at power levels.

Is the motor directly connected or is there a contactor someplace?

These switches are often called "micro" switches and do not like high current.


Add a relay and it will last forever

Hey y'all. the spindle start switch on my Grizzly 4003 just took a major dump. It is obsolete from Grizzly (go figure)

I need the lathe NOW. The switch(es) that are in it are a real joke. Worse designed pieces of crap if I ever saw .
Ok, so here is the wiring diagram for the switches.

It is located on the lowest shaft on the front of the lathe under the carriage feed shaft, left hand end. My lathe is 20 years old next year. The switch has changed 2 more times since the lathe was new in 1999. View attachment 277503


The newest type of switch they use is a simple wheel'd limit switch (pair joined together, same switch, just turned over 180º)

The wires haven't ever changed, only the type of switch. I need to hot-wire the lathe until I can get a real drum switch . So y'all electrical folks give a brother a hand here. Which wires will I need to join together with a common toggle switch to make the lathe motor turn on? I don't need the chunk to run in the reverse direction for the time being, just for the chuck to turn when I throw the switch. If I have to hand start the chuck, that's fine too. had to do that a few times anyway. when the start cap blows

I think I’ve got one of the original switches for your lathe if your interested. It’s new in the box.
