If the reversing switch is an input to the VFD, you will be ok. There should be a direct connection from the VFD output to the motor, with nothing in-between .

POTD- PROJECT OF THE DAY: What Did You Make In Your Shop Today?
- Thread starter wachuko

Yep, I used the “two-wire control method” as shown in the L510 manual
Got all the parameters set, and it’s been working great
This was slightly more than a one day project, and honestly more time than should have been spent on an inexpensive part. Apparently this outboard boat motor support mount is backordered and a co-worker asked if I could help him out. The original cast one failed so I made a solid machined one from a surplus part of an old project.
Sweet knurling and rounded end!!! Did you use the boring head radius turner you made?
I would have loved to see a vid on this. Great job!
With everything else now in the paint department I got started cleaning the main body of the SAG 14 lathe. Mind you this is after several rounds of shop vac, scraping and wiping. Still no shortage of filth to remove, then prep for paint.
The tailstock end is looking better.
I got half the rack gear cleaned, that job totally SUCKS!
The recess for the leveling feet was caked in crud. I think some quick work now with some wire tools and it's ready for paint. 1 down, 5 to go.
I removed the first of 2 logos from the bases. No way I'm getting down on my hands and needs to clean and paint it.
It came out without too much drama. Got the paint and filler dug out of the screws. Then dug out the thick filler from the sides and bottom and was able to pop it out of there.

Yes I did
I haven't had much time in the shop lately due to other projects, so I take what I can get.
I needed some bug protection on a water heater pan drain and came up with this.
I started with a hose filter turned to fit a CPVC cap and then drilled the cap.
A screw into the side holds it in place and allows removal to clean or replace it if necessary.

Successfully completed my first barrel cam for an art project, completed it this weekend.
The barrel OD is 1.35", the cam slots are .040 wide and deep. The wall is only .05 so there is only .01 holding it together at the slots. You can see the slot milling pushed out the ID a tiny bit. Not a problem but I might work on reducing that for the final ones.
This is my first real 4 axis work, machining challenging tiny slots no less. Broke some 1/32" end mills and learned some stuff....
The finish is right off the mill, for the final I'll clean it up a bit.

Frankly, I'd not paint it. The paintwork looks mostly fine, and painting it is likely to do a more harm than good from a vintage machine tool aesthetic point of view.With everything else now in the paint department I got started cleaning the main body of the SAG 14 lathe.

Still and all, your shop, your aesthetics.
