This is for a DC motor only, it will not work with an AC motor. I have one style of connectors for a Penn State motor, model #TCLVSKIT(first pic) which uses the IEC style connectors, and a style for Chris's motor setup (second pic). I am offering these here for others that have no or limited wiring experience. It plugs right inline with the motor cable, so no actual wiring is required by the buyer. It literally takes longer to mount the box to the wood than to do the hookup. I did my best to make these plug and play. It could work with other DC motors, but the connectors may not match, If you want it for another type DC motor, if you can provide me with motor brand, model, type of connections and a pic or 2 and any other details you can, I'll see what I can do.
Price is $50 and includes shipping to the 48 states, Canada add $10 more, thru Priority Mail from the Post Office. If your not satisfied with it, call me and send it right back for full refund. If you have any questions, please ask before buying, you can call me between 6-10pm EST at 413.575.4174
Thanks,
Dave

ALL HAVE BEEN SOLD, THANKS EVERYONE!

I am not trying to hurt your sales here, but if you use that with the Mid Size motor and you throw it in reverse with the motor running forward it will very often instantly burn the motor up. So use at your own risk. The Penn State motor is a little more forgiving as it is not turning at as high of an RPM. But you can burn the controller up on it pretty easily, so the best advice I have is put the switch somewhere that is not super convenient to get to. That way you will be less likely to click it while the motor is running. And only use it for reversing, use another switch to turn the motor on and off.

By the way I think those switch boxes look really slick. You did a great job on them.

Thanks Mr. H and Chris. Chris, Your Advice is greatly appreciated. I didn't even think that someone would try that. I agree, only use the regular On/Off switch your lathe is already equiped with to turn it on or off. This is only meant to facilitate adding the capability to reverse direction without rewiring the whole thing.
As a heads up, I don't anticipate making more than what I have left, which is 2 at this time, unless someone asks for them, especially now after a newcomer is now offering to sell them for a lot less than what I paid for the materials alone. I only made some extras trying to assist anyone who doesn't like to do the rewiring of the motors.
Have a great holiday weekend everyone.

Bump, still have 2 left. BTW, the switch is a 20 amp switch which means it will last much longer than lower amp rated ones from like Home Depot.

Price reduction

I want to clear these last 2 out. I'm also open to trades of wood or tooling. Unlike the newcomer, I actually build and repair cues, not just here to sell, so I'm always open for more wood or tools.:grin:
Thanks,
Dave
