I had been amassing a large collection of woodworking tools, but didn't have 220 in my garage. Then a garage fire wiped out everything, and I have had to start over. Lucky for me, when they rebuilt the gargage, they put in a 220 line for me. I am completely electricity ignotant, so I am not sure how to proceed. I have 3 tools I would like to use off of the same 220 outlet in my garage. One tool a Nova DVR XP has a plug that doesn't match my outlet, and the other two tools don't have plugs yet. The other two unterminated tools are a Rikon 14" Bandsaw with a 3hp Baldor Motor, and a General 350 Cabinet saw with a 3hp Marathon Motor. My question is should I make all plugs like the 220 outlet or change out the outlet for one like on the Nova (2nd picture). My other thought was to make an extension cord with a dryer 220 line and terminate the one end with a female plug that would accept the style of plug on the Nova, and put the same plug on the other two tools. Any assistance from any of you electrical gurus would be greatly appreciated.
