Jet 1236 motor reverser

[Paul Engle]

Does anyone have any info on modifing the wiring on a Jet 1236 3/4 hp Reves drive to make it run in reverse? I know how to run backwards but it shore looks funny ....:eek: :D . I heard reverse sanding is good idea but everytime I try it I fall down and cant get up .....thanks in advance for any suggestion / wiring diagrams etc.

No idea how but be sure you account for the fact that if you are using anything screwed to the headstock...it may come loose when the lathe runs on reverse.

Hi Paul
