   You will probably find the wiring diagram inside the terminal box thats attached to the motor.

   Ron,

   If, after looking at the wiring diagrams, you are still not crystal clear about what wires have to be moved where, it probably wouldn't cost that much to have an electrician come out and do the wire moving for you.  It is not that difficult but you don't want to mess it up.

   Good luck, GeorgeYou don't stop laughing because you grow old.  You grow old because you stop laughing. - Michael Pritchard<!----><!----><!---->

   Ron,

   I am not sure why you would like to change them from 220V to 110V. The motors will run more efficiently on 220V. I know that my INCA table saw came wired for 110V and would bog down and trip the 20A breaker of the circuit it was on. After changing to 220V it never happened again! You say that you are "down sizing", I take that to mean that you are a one man shop, probably a hobbyist and not a full time professional. If so, I would recommend you have a 220V 20A circuit, or two, in the shop and simply plug the tool in as you need to use it. A 220V 20A breaker was less than $20 the last time I purchased one ( a couple yeas ago), and a 220V 20A outlet, box and plug should'nt cost much more. Lastly, if you are the least bit uncomfortable working with electricity then, by all means, get an electrician. Good luck with your shop.

   If your house wiring is up to the task, motors will run the same on 110 as on 220. 

   I am contemplating doing the same thing with my lathe, since I have no 220 available in the detached garage of the rented house where it and I reside for several more months while we have a new house built.  I may get stimied by the necessity of putting a new switch in the circuit, since the heaters for the magnetic switch are pretty pricey I think.  I was thinking about a 220 extension cord, but to do this with stranded wire makes it a very expensive proposition too.  (And, I only have a few small items to turn--blanks for rosettes to be carved for a mantel in the new house.)

   Bob, thank you for the advice. I'm here only temporally. by late summer I will be moving into the new place, Mine! I'm renting in the mean time. I can get by for now with less.

   I don't mind spending the money but the property owner wants his licensed people to do all the work. I have a great landlord but my friend will do it for a 6 pack.

   I am an not a professional and time is what I have plenty of.

   thanks

   Ron
