I think I've done my due diligence on searching before I ask...but I've got a good one for you.
I bought a used Jet JML-1014 lathe a few months ago and, being that I knew nothing about using one, I just verified that it worked and paid the guy. Today I decided to finally try it out and after some fumbling around, realized that the motor reverses direction every time I turn it on. One time, it's running CW...the next, CCW.
Anyone ever seen this? I'm 100% sure there something radically wrong here.
Thanks for any advice.
