Wood Jointer Rewired From 3 Phrase Motor To Single Phase
John Dodge, North Port, Fla.: “I bought a used wood jointer and had to rewire it from a 3-phase motor to a single phase, which required a different switch. I didn’t want the machine starting up by me bumping it with my knee so I decided to make my own safety switch.
“A friend happened to be tossing out some drawer handles. I mounted 2 of them on either side of a metal switch plate so I could only turn on the switch with my finger. It worked. The handles just have to extend out further than the toggle switch. It’s handy because I can turn the switch off from either side or the middle.”
