I have a new-to-me 1944 CY16 that came with a Furnas reversing motor starter setup with a solid state motor circuit protector. The MCP doesn't much like the power coming from my rotary phase converter so I'm in the process of replacing the whole starter/MCP setup.
I plan on ditching the reversing options. Namely because:
Are there any scenarios where I'd regret not having a reversing motor? .
I plan on ditching the reversing options. Namely because:
- I already have the parts for a non-reversing setup
- I read elsewhere that this lathe isn't meant to be ran backwards except under very light loads
- My CY16 has the reversing feed lever option
Are there any scenarios where I'd regret not having a reversing motor? .
