Good progress was made today
I blued up the motor plate, marked between the old holes, then plotted my new hole locations from that line.
I marked an inch wide slot, drilled the ends out, then used a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade to make slots, then filed the slots to size. Motor fits nicely with room for movement.
Once that was done, I took advantage of the motor plate being out as I cleaned loads of gunk out from the frame. Then I looked at the limit switches wiring. I had Issues as the wire wasn't long enough to reach, but I found some slack, twisted the wires and got it all sorted.
So, the next task is to redo the gaskets and sort out the contactor. I need a little help figuring out the contactor since I'm not sure where the wires need to go






So, from Phils lathes wiring, I understand I need the three blue cables coming from the switch to go into the L1 L2 and L3 at the top of the contactor.
The yellow needs to go into the top of the contactor, then the red and blue somewhere else? Which ones do they need to go in?
Also, which ones do the cables to the motor go in. Do they go into the lowest 3 at the bottom, or the other 4 on the relay?
Looks like we're on lockdown now, So I may as well get it all done!
Thanks
