To add to my confusion now we added the headstock rotation, LOL.
I’m glad though because I never paid attention to this critical task. I use a Sherline VS 90VDC motor with a KBIC controller for both my lathe and mill. I only have to remove two 10-32 SHCS to switch the motor from the lathe to the mill. The KBIC controller does not have a reverse switch; it only has an ON/OFF switch and a VS knob for the speed.
Right now the Taig lathe turns clockwise when viewed from the tailstock and the Taig mill also turns clockwise when viewed from the top. But it looks like I have the rotation wrong and I have to verify this before proceeding to reverse the wiring and have both the mill and lathe turn CCW.
The Sherline motor is supplied with 120VAC and to switch the rotation I guess I have to switch the black and white wires. Now they are connected black to black and white to white. Any one knows how to change the wires to reverse the rotation?
I completed the V-Groove in several passes and I made a YouTube video from one of the passes
