I have got myself an old IXL Capitol lathe a while ago and I just recently got around to removing the old gigantic three phase motor, and making a pedestal up to mount a modern single phase motor so I can have the thing running in my garage.
Anyway at the moment there is no switch wired on, to make the machine run, you just have to plug in the three pin socket, which is a less than satisfactory arangement, as it is quite dangerous.
Anyway my friend gave me a proper stop start push-button switch, but opening it up, I cannot figure out how to wire it up! Inside, it just has two momentary switches, each with a normally open side and a normally closed side. Does anyone have any idea of how to wire this up, so that it will keep going even if I remove my finger from the start button?
