Can you use a DPDT toggle to get both reverse and forward on an AC motor?
I have a small Harbor Freight metal lathe and the motor is bad. I have a 3/4 horse AC 120 volt electric motor that you can reverse by changing how the wires are hooked up. I'm not real good at this type of wiring, but want to know if this can be done? An if so, a little help would be greatly appreciated.

Please take a clear picture of the wiring diagram on the motor and post it. http://www.doityourself.com/forum/li...-pictures.html
