Thats a single phase motor you have so you should be able to reverse it you just need the connection diagram for the drum switch

John

If you have 3 wires and your instructions are telling you you need to swap over two connections to change rotation , then you will have a 3 phase motor fitted to your machine

Have you 3 phase in your workshop.

Thread: Boiler life

I am looking at buying a second hand loco and have a question about boilers

Thread: What type of oil to use on a Milling machine

13/01/2010 16:54:10

Hi Alvin

I have used oil and i have still had the problem.

The only way to stop it rusting is to keep it in a heated workshop.

Failing that keep your eye on it every day and make sure it is well oiled.

My warco milling machine bed rusts a lot quicker that my myford lathe bed

Maybe the quality of the cast iron has a lot to do with it.
