Not from the keypad then.
Ok.
How about this?

Mind, this entire document could be in Sanskrit for what I'm comprehending but, section 4-12 shows a simple switching affair between logic inputs 1, 6 and PCS....?
No? Yes? Or just swap the bleedin' ouput wires as the gentleman suggested?

Hey Quismodo. I took basic sanskrit in high school

Please answer the question. Is it a one time reverse or is it something that needs to be done all the time?

I will help you either way but you are not being clear.

Frankly, it's not a huge necessity but merely based on the fact that I inherited a WHOLE bunch of left-hand end mills!

Thought if I could just poke a button I'd burn 'em up but, if not, I can always grind profile tools for the lathe!
Ta!

It is pretty easy to set up a switche to make it go forward and reverse. The drive supplies the common and you go to term 1 and 2. All you do then is make sure you set up your intelligent terminals to for andd rev.

Ok Mike.
I'm certain my wife will back me up on this when I say I'm an idiot with this stuff and haven't much of a clue what you're talking about.

You got a schematic for all that?
Crayon, chalk...I don't care.

Oops, wait a minute...I just looked at the manual. It shows coming from "PCS" to switches on "1" and "2", 1 being Forward and 2 being Reverse.
Is that it?
Don't wish to fry anything.

Like we used to say when we were children, you are getting warm
the pcs goes to the center of a single pole double throw switch. term 1 goes to 1 side of the switch and term 2 goes to the other side.

Set C001 to 00 amd C002 to 01 .make sure you hit the save button everytime or it will revert back to the original setting.

The book says these are the default settings, so you should just be able to hook it up and go. You will still have to set the rpm from the knob.

That's exactly what I did. I used the lathe's Fwd-Off-Rev barrel switch as a SPDT for PCS to Term1 and Term2, and have the motor directly connected to the VFD. When Term1 gets the voltage from PCS, drive is in fwd mode. When Term2 gets the voltage, motor goes in reverse. You have to tell the VFD what each terminal is controlling (Term 1 will control fwd-run, so C01=00). Term2 is C02=01, or Reverse-run.
