Plan D: If you want to keep it really simple. I just switched my mill to use an old treadmill motor. It required some machining to make thing fit up, but two treadmill motors could use the same controller with a DPDT switch. Another DPDT before that one could also give you reverse (but, you'll want to pin the flywheel if you do that). I've got a video up showing what I did.

Unfortunately, often enough that I'd rather not be swapping cables. That's just as bad as having to move the belts to change speeds.

Plan C:

Use two of these puppies https://tinyurl.com/y2dya9lc
to effect your 2PDT switching. Only one contactor
energized at a time.

Then you can switch between motors with an itty-bitty
toggle switch located remotely from the high-voltage-fat-
wires.

You'll also need a 24vac source to power the
contactor coils

Un impeachable logic: George Carlin asked, "If black boxes
survive crashes, why don't they make the whole airplane
out of that stuff?"
