I've finished rebuilding a JET JBS-14 circa 1981-2, but I am having trouble wiring the switch. It's a 110V single phase motor. There are no markings. From the literature published around that time, I believe it to be a 5A 1 HP motor. The switch is the normal four terminal power tool switch with nothing fancy that I can see. This is so easy, that I just don't see how it can be giving me so much trouble!
From the motor I have three leads: black, red, green.
From the (replaced by someone other than me ) power cord, I have three leads: black, gold, green.
Opening up the plug on the power cord, I can see the black and gold leads are connected to the hot/neutral prongs, while the green lead is connected to the bottom, cylindrical, ground prong.
I make the following connections:
cord_black to top left terminal
cord_gold to bottom left terminal
motor_black to top right terminal
motor_red to bottom left terminal
cord_green and motor_green are connected a bolt just under the switch on the band saw stand.
When connected this way, the GFCI trips immediately. When cord_green is loose, the motor does not drip the GFCI.
What's the deal?!? I've clearly screwed this up!
Thanks so much for all the help!
