120 v, reversing motor for latheThe first problem is The directions all in Chinese. Attached is a translation. Second is that there is not enough room for #10 wire, forget about wiring for 60 amps. I had to crisscross the wires over the drum to get them to fit, not the best way. And the little grommets are a joke. For proper wiring, you need cable clamps but it is still a very tight fit.Once wired, the switch works fine

Pretty easy to install there's not a ton of room inside the switch box but I was able to get it to work, replaced an electronic switch that stopped working once it went under water. I think because there's no electronics in this drum switch it should be better in case it goes under water.

I needed a reversing switch for a split phase motor I use on a small belt sander. This switch was priced much more attractively than the metal cased ones I bought years ago and are now much more expensive. It took some figuring out how to wire the switch. I basically ran the two wires that are swapped to reverse the motor from the motor to the switch and then back to the motor. Another set of contacts were used to connect the hot wire to the running coil. It works perfectly for me in this application.

I have a single phase motor on my lathe machine with four wires and once I figured out the wiring pattern this switch works both forward and reverse with no problems yes I tripped the breaker a few times but that's my fault for not searching up the correct wiring 😁

The switch may come to you with not all the switches functioning. Don't be afraid to to remove the drum switch from the j-box. You will find windows on the side of the switch body for all 5 contacts. Use a meter and check for contenuity at each switch that looks closed. Do this in forward and reverse. Mine had 2 contacts that looked closed and were not. Use a screw driver or needle nose pliers to adjust the copper strips that holds the contacts. A new switch from Jet would have run me over $110, this fix cost less than $20. Most of the work is in mounting the new j-box. Fixing stuff is why we have tools. I'm I right?

I like that it is easy to figure out but instructions would have been great. I attached a photo of the diagram I mapped out. Please note that you only need to use the numbered lugs. The ones that are not numbered are connected to the numbered ones next to them. If you are using this on a DC system you only need the positive and negative. Otherwise use the N1 and N2 for neutral on an AC system.

Built in jumpers make it more confusing,metered all pinouts, tried it, almost smoked a motor.It would be nice to have screws on all terminals not just 6.I guess that is what you get for $15.It is made pretty well just not what I expected.Sent it backWill buy an old school USA drum switch
