    Question Can Anybody Help w/ Rewiring Jointer Motor?

    My fixer-upper Davis & Wells jointer is wired for 220, (or 230, or whatever), but says it can be wired at 110. Since I don't have 220 in my shop I need to do this in order to get the thing fired up. (It's only 1/2 HP, so there should be no problem with excessive amps at 110.)

    Unfortunately, the manual on this puppy has been out of print since before I was born, so I need some help.

    Can anybody point me to a general reference on the subject?

    Alternatively, if I crack the case open and take pics of the stuff inside, can somebody walk me through this?

    TIA,

    Tom

    inverse proportion to the quality of his work."

    I guess my public must be pretty huge then.
