Dont know what language you are using there, Im sure the debouncing Im thinking of has nothing to do with the one youre talking about 😂.

This is a picture of the archaic (literally coming off the arc) motor control system on my lathe, it only allows for forward and reverse, with a timer when switched off so I cant immediately reverse. 40-50 years old. Hence why Im looking to convert to variable speed, if this dies not sure Id find the parts to repair.

With your variable speed do you find you still have the torque on low speeds? Ive heard varying accounts on this, using slower speeds on larger diameters tending to bog down. Its not an issue on the geared system.
