I am finally wiring my TECO FM50 to my South Bend 10L. I have a 5 button box with a STOP, RUN, FORWARD/REVERSE, JOG, and a potentiometer in it.
My lathe will only run if I hold the RUN button down. The STOP works while I hold the RUN button down as does the JOG and FORWARD/REVERSE. The potentiometer works fine. Everything works if I want to stand next to my lathe and hold the RUN button.
My RUN button is a 22mm open contact. Do I need to swap that out for a locking ON/OFF switch? Do I need a relay (12v)? I would like to get this running so I can make spacers till I learn how to use the lathe.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
