I'm about to pick up a 3hp 1ph PM66 table saw and need help with some power switch wiring.
It currently works, but the previous owner threw on an exterior power switch box like the ones you would find on the outside of a house and used that as the power switch. I want to set it up with a magnetic switch and a safety flap like what's standard these days. I'm relatively new to wiring things so I'm looking for any kind of resource out there that will show me what I need to make this conversion and general information that I need to know.
Questions I need answered:
- He said there's a fuse wired up in that box. Is that something I need to get or will that be included in the magnetic switch box
- Do I need the PM66 specific mag switch box or are there cheaper, even DIY alternatives out there? (looks like its $180 for one at eReplacement parts)
- Is there an article, website, or video that goes through all of this that you trust?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks All
