Hi all. Hoping someone smarter than me can help me out here. The spindle switch in my Enco 9x20 had been giving my problems for a while so I decided it was time to replace it. I ordered a new switch from Grizzly hoping it would be the same. Turns out maybe it's not. At the least, their 9x20 is wired differently in that it has two capacitors where my lathe has one.
I attempted to duplicate the wiring of the original switch, but when I tried to turn the lathe on it tripped the circuit breaker so clearly I'm doing it wrong.
I'm not electronically inclined so figure it's time to get help.
I'll add some pictures here of the old switch connections (one wire is broken off the old switch as shown in the "old switch rev side" image (which is why the switch was failing, the plastic was falling apart. When I took the old switch out it fell apart completely).
I drew a diagram of how the old switch was wired ("old switch wiring").
Also adding pictures of the wiring diagram inside the lathe, the diagram from the Grizzly manual, and the new switch connections.
I'm sure this is very simple for someone who knows what they're doing. If you could tell me which wire to attach to which terminal on the new switch I'd be grateful.
If more information is needed please let me know.
THANKS!!!
