Good morning so picked up a Le blond regal 13 x 40 and all it had was this drum switch and a 2 hp compressor motor running at 3450 rpm. Now I have searched and the lathe originally shipped with a 3/4 horsepower set up so now I have this DAYTON 3/4 HP motor and a drum switch with no label on it any longer and a screw in the face of it blocking the switch from going into reverse (but screw has been removed now) and no damage to any internal parts has been done as far as I can tell. Now my question is how do I wire this thing up and if possible if switch will allow is there any problem with wiring it for 220 vac power or since the switch has so much wear would I just be better off wiring up a mag start with all this Allen Bradley stuff I have or maybe just get one of them single phase VFD/speed controller deals ? Totally open to any and all suggestions here but I thank you in advance for all the help here its much appreciated. Now hopefully I can upload these pics lol
