Michael, If you do not want to reverse the motor while it is running, you can buy a non-reversing controller and install a FWD/OFF/REV switch between the controller and the motor.

I have an Atlas metalworking lathe. I'd like to put a motor on the lead screw to get much lower traversing speeds than the lathe's internal gearbox will allow for. This is a relatively common modification to these little lathes. I have a 190RPM 12V DC gearmotor with a stall current of 25A that I'd like to use. It was a seat adjustment motor for a car, so it should be plenty torquey enough for this job. Does anyone know of an off-the-shelf, continuous-duty, reversing controller that would work with this type of motor? I can provide an AC-DC power supply to run it off of 110VAC. I just need the controller itself and don't really feel up to the job of building my own. Thanks in advance for any help anyone may be able to provide! -- Auf wiedersehen!
