I didn't want to hijack Olit's thread below.
I mentioned that I picked up an old Leblond engine lathe here recently.
The original reversing drum switch on it was smashed and unuseable.
It has this tag on the motor.
I ordered the drum switch below but wiring it is above my pay grade and I can't find an electrical contractor who's even interested in looking at it.
"Nope. We don't do machinery or appliances."
Or "Nope, that's industrial. We'll give you new electrical service in your house or garage tho."
Now what do I do?
Is this something that someone here could talk me through?
I did install a new meter socket on my house and ran underground for new 100A panel in garage a year ago. All was inspected and passed. So I can do a little wiring...
