220v from Old Baseboard Heater
I have a new lathe coming that is 220v (Laguna Revo, pretty excited), the room I current have my lathe doesn’t have a 220 outlet however it does have an old baseboard heater that got broken while I tore out the old flooring. 3 Alaska winters, including one that I had to keep the window open for, and I haven’t really missed the heater. I am thinking if I replace the thermostat with a switch and replace the heater with a plug I can avoid rearranging my shop too much and put the new lathe in the same spot. I would like whatever I do to be reversable, the shop is a basement apartment on our house and any future owner may want to go back to renting it out.
Any thoughts, worst idea ever, best idea ever? My primary concern is if the heater in the other room is on the same breaker which is something I need to check.
Also, this seems like something I can do myself, I have done plenty of 110 outlets and switches and a few 220 thermostats, or are 220 switches and outlets a more complicated beast?
thanks!
