I am putting together my Uncle's old PM66. I just got the 230v 2 hp Leeson motor rebuilt and need a safety switch for it. There are some safety swithches at Grizzly and Woodworker's supply and the price is great.
But I am worried about an inexpensive switch burning out and harming the motor? Are those switches okay to use?
-Also There are 4 wires coming out of the motor (2 are hot!) I know those are the black ones. The other 2 that are red I was told is for a magnetic switch. Can you shine any light on that one I don't know which wires to use to hook this motor up to the switch?
