I finally got a chance to hook up the jointer motor we discussed in this thread:
http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=13071
Results:
[1] It revolves at a few hundred RPMs -- I'm guessing, but it's slow enough so I can count the revolutions by eye.
[2] It makes lots and lots of sparks somewhere underneath the casing.
Reminders:
[1] The original question was whether this thing was wired for 110 or 220, as either is possible.
[2] This jointer is 50 years old and fell off a truck.
So, what say you electrical geniuses?
Is it wired wrong, or is it toast?
