Surprise benefit of Reverse Sanding on lathe (PowerPro)

JPG I followed your guide in this forum up to this point. Currently I have my 3/4 GE wired the same as the motor in this thread. I am just wanting to be able to wire in a switch instead of switching out the start winding leads on the start relay.

What I found interesting at one point in the video was that he had another forum member (Bill Mayo) re-work the headstock, at which time he had installed a motor-reversing switch to the headstock. Something I personally have not seen discussed in the SS forum.

Bill Mayo installed a reversing switch in my old '54 Greenie headstock last year. This lets me mount the jointer on the left side of a mini frame and the bandsaw on the right side. Very handy to have these two SPT's permanently mounted. Just slide the headstock a few inches one way or the other and flip the switch to forward for the jointer or reverse for the bandsaw.

This requires additional wiring within the motor. I have reversible 1 1/8 HP motors available. Contact me by Email (bill.mayo@verizon.net.) if interested or desire more information. Thanks.

Bill, I sent you and JPG a private message here on the forum.
