Default Anyone Have a Westward 1KEN7 Drill Press (1 HP, 1 Ph., 20", MT3, etc.)

I acquired a Leeson 1 1/2 horse variable speed DC motor from a discarded
treadmill. I think I am more interested in setting it up with a double
pole, double throw switch to make it reversible than in fiddling with the
laser. I would also like to get a tapping head for it. Right now it's
just getting used.

Make sure that motor is stopped... I'm guessing your controls will blow if
you simply reverse it without stopping the motor's rotation...
