How to wire up a $15.00 drum switch to a 110-volt single phase motor.

You're a genius! I bought one of these off Ebay and was totally lost on how to connect it up to a single phase reversible 1/2hp motor. Thank you so much!

@@jamesstuart946 I'd happily buy you a coffee if you add a "buy me a coffee link". I went through a lot of frustration trying to wire this up. Even went to a well known motor shop that was not able to help. Thanks to your vid I'm back in business. My lathe had a really nice, but dated and worn drum switch and I was shocked to know that replacing it was $200-$300 dollars which is what led me to the Ebay, cheaper drum switch. Even if I have to buy a new switch every so often, now that I know how to wire it, not a big deal.

That was a waste of time. No explanation of power ins and why and where. Don't watch people like this that don't take the time to correctly explain things
