I need a magnetic switch

[Charles McKinley]

Hi All,

I'm in the process of restoring and OLD joiner and need a switch. It has a 19 amp single phase 220V motor. Does anyone know where I can get one used or inexpensively? The motor shop near me said new it would be $130. :(

I tried searching on ebay and got nothing so I thing I need different key words. I used "magnetic switch" and "eletric motor starter."

The gentleman at the motor shop talked about heaters and other things that were beyond my knowledge base. :confused:

If I can't find one considerably cheaper I'll bite the bullet and get it locally. I want the magnetic switch for safety reasons. I really don't want it to start when it is plugged it if the switch was bumped. :eek:

Not sure if these will work for you http://www.grizzly.com/products/items-list.cfm?&listtype=keyword&keywords=switch&StartRow=11. 220V at 19 amps what size motor are you running???

if this one won't do it they should have one that will.

Charles,

Grizzly sells these switches...should be under $70. Search over there.

Thanks guys,

The griz will work. My uncle wants to get a bandsaw so we might have to make a little road trip.

It is for a 16" Cresent joiner. It came with a 3hp motor, no pulley, no switch. The motor is huge! I built a base to attach the motor to.

Pics will follow when it runs. Really expensive scrap iron does not count as a gloat. At this rate I should have went and bought a DJ20 or one of those combo machines.

Thanks again,
