Hello,
I have a stock Grizzly wood lathe, model G0462. I'm in the process of fabricating a cross slide bed and compound tool rest for it. Planning on equipping it with an acme lead screw, driven by a NOS Boston Gear matched single phase AC motor and 20:1 reducer.
The single phase Boston AC motor is designed to be wired for CW or CCW motion. I'd like to switch between forward and reverse using a DPDT toggle switch (preferably pendant style, and NOT momentary).
Between the lathe and its electrical components, the Boston lead screw motor, and the DPDT switch, there will be lots of wiring connections.
My questions:
Would it be advantageous to use terminal blocks/DIN rail to manage all of the wiring connections?
What kind of DPDT switch should I get (could you post a link to the best-choice component, from Amazon, McMaster, Grainger, etc)?
What would the rough wiring diagram for something like this look like?
Thank you
