How to rewire a table saw

[Deleted member 26818]

Do you know what a capacitor is, and how one is used to make single phase motors rotate in a specific direction?

That was in response to rsgaz.

Ok no worries

Yes, I do.

Please explain how a line-neutral reverse would make it spin the other way.

Yes, I do.

I agree with your question, this link goes someway into describing the complexity of SP motors

Yes, I do.

Simples.
If you reverse the line and neutral before the capacitor, there will be no change in direction.
If you reverse the line and neutral after the capacitor there will be a change in direction.
Can you tell from the pictures whether the two wires that have come apart are before or after the capacitor?

Yes, it's outside the tool initially...

That’s not the tool, that’s the body of the motor.
If you read back through the posts, you will find that I have already established there is a remote switch.
So where is the capacitor, is it in the body of the motor or in the switch housing?

in the switch housing?

We see a 2 core flex, so it can't be in the switch housing, it would need more cores to the motor(which apparently now isn't part of "the tool"!!).

 

[Deleted member 26818]

Of course the motor is a part of the tool.
The flex between the switch and the motor is also part of the tool, as are the screws used to attach the motor housing to the rest of the tool.
I would not say (as you did) that a part of the tool is the tool.

As for extra cores, who knows?
