Before installing the relays, if you tried to reverse out of a tapped hole, for instance, it just kept going in the forward direction. (Not good!) You could stop the machine and reverse would then work, but I needed it to instant reverse like they do when connected to actual three phase.

I haven't experienced that, but I always use the brake for the spindle before I change direction, as soon I hit switch it goes into reverse
I can imagine snapped taps, if it wants to go in forward rotation
The guy is still alive and his shop is close by that built the unit, he said it was the first unit he built
Sorry for getting off on a tangent, but you work is incredible, always impressed with your techniques,and thanks for entertaining A CRABBY OLD WHITE GUY
