Re: Lathe Reverse
Do you have a dmv?
It would help to measure resistance with bus bars of and capacitor disconnected
Then we might get a clue on where the coils are connected.

Re: Lathe Reverse
The wiring depends on what kind of single phase motor it is.
You will likely find there are 2 coils (your main run winding, then a smaller start winding) with all wires brought out to the terminals.... -

Re: Lathe Reverse
How it changes direction, depends on what kind of capacitor setup is being used.
Essentially you need to swap how the two windings and capacitor are connected. If all you're getting is a thud, it... -

Re: Peak or RMS
Setting to 2.84A as you can't get 2.8A is only 3% more heat, which is negligible so you'll be fine. It's always a good idea to keep an eye on the motor temperature to start with just to be sure.
