I got an OLD belt driven tapper (looks like a drill press) probably made in the late 1800's to early 1900's and the 1 HP motor is probably made from somewhere in the 1930' to the 1950'.
It was wired for and using household 120V but the case says 240V.
I pulled the cover and there are 4 wires, but they are all black, and they all have a small aluminum band wrapped around and crimped to them numbered #1,#2,#3, and #4.
The two that were wired to the 120V power cord were #1 and #4.
The #2 and #3 were wired together under the cover.
My MIG welder and powder coating oven both use 240V so I want to wire the "NEW" drill press for 240V as well.
Any one know which wires go to the two (out of phase) 120V power, the neutral and ground?
I'm used to the red and black both going to either of the two phases of 120V, the white goes to neutral and the green is Ground.
