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.

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.
