If I had read the word "lathe " in the headline I would have jumped in the train sooner !
Great work has been done on that lathe, the wiring of the motor apparently isn't easy to read, to play it safe I suggest you send pictures of the wiring to experts on a technical site. I can't see why a lathe designed to work on wood should run in both ways, make it simple !
Keep us posted, the first shavings are not far away now, how do you intend to fight the dust ?
