This shop replaced the motor for their lathe and I was sent to hook it up. The lathe has a forward/reverse switch hooked up to a pair of contacters. I am wondering how to hook up the new motor so it works with the existing setup. The old motor has already been discarded so I don't have that for reference. Originally 4 leads would go to the motor from the terminal block. I've drawn up what I think would work and attached some pictures of the motor and schematics. The new motor is not instant reverse so it would have to come to a stop to change direction but that's a compromise they can live with. Motor will be running on 208v.
