Need some detailed instructions. I took apart an old craftsman drill, and i would like to cut the trigger switch out, and use a 3 way switch more functional for my project, and use a dimmer switch or something to control the speed. What i need help with is re-routing all the wires, since i have lost the original switch that does all of that for me. If someone out there is willing to help me with this step by step id be grateful. I can include photos if that helps, but for now i will describe what have.
power drill dissassembled
a dimmer switch
a switch with on-off-on (to be used for forward reverse i hope?)
there are 4 wires coming from the drill:
1 white (from motor)
1 black (from motor)
1 yellow (come from brushes)
1 red (comes from brushes)
from here i am lost as to what path i need to wire the switches and the dimmer in series. Thanks to anyone willing to help this newbie out.
PS this is so i can make a power feed for my little metal lathe.
