220v from 2 x 110v plugs

[Rollie Meyers]

What you are proposing is a good way for people to get hurt/killed, if one attachment plug is removed, 120 volts can back feed through the equipment on the load side energizing the prongs of the plug that was removed,my advice is hire someone qualified to do the work.


This is the stuff that becomes fodder for the Darwin Awards website.

I am with Anthony, NO WAY. There is a reason that 220 brakers must be connected so if one trips the other trips... There is always ways to jerry-rig something to make it do what you want it to do. However, there are some things that you should not try to jerry-rig. I agree you need 220 for most tools. I would try to find another space witrh 220.
