Great news! Glad I could help, and glad you did all the safe stuff. Happy fabricating to you...

Good answer. You might also want to put it on a GFI outlet if the floor you'll stand on can ever be moist, even with condensation from humidity. Good luck with your project.

Don't replace the breaker without upsizing the wires! For a 20-amp breaker you should have 12-awg wire. Anything less is a fire hazard.

Hi Skipnord,

Thanks for the feedback. If you have a similar issue, PM me. Different motors may have different wirings, so this response may not be generalizable.

First, your motor has a built-in capacitor, which may hold a charge. Short out all the wires across a screwdriver or something to be sure there's nothing there that'd otherwise short out across your...

It looks like some of the wires are bundled with zip ties--I think those will be your supply power. The twisted ones are probably set up for lower voltage, but that's not certain. Dayton makes dozens...

The motor can run at one of two voltages--110 or 220--and you connect some of the wires internally (that is, not to the supply power) to connect the appropriate coils. I am an electrician, and have...
