    Will this switch work?

    I have a linear motor to power the table on my drill press. The motor has 3 wires coming from it, blue is fwd, black is rev, white is common with start capacitor going to the blue/blk wires. I'm wondering I can use a momentary fwd-off-rev switch like the drawing below to activate it? Thanks,

    Tool Identifying this dial indicator

    This is one of my Dad's Federal indicators that was passed down to me, very accurate. The crystal is some kind of clear acetate, I thought about trying to polish the yellow out but don't want to take the risk of screwing it up.

    Surface grinder, $700, Toronto, ON
