Hello all, I've visited this site many times when looking for information on something but only recently joined (like today). I am in Western WA state, retired from the Army, and an avid car and gun guy. I am not a machinist but do have a mini mill/lathe and am getting a Bridgeport and full lathe soon.
I just purchased a Jet VBS 400 bandsaw which looks to be in pretty good shape. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to power it. I have a couple of issues, first is that this machine is marketed as being a 110V machine, however it can be wired for 220V or even 440V. I was told it was set up for 220V so that is the assumption I am working with.
It has 4 wires coming out of it; black, brown, blue and yellow/green. I know the yellow/green is ground and suspect that the black and brown are hot and the blue neutral, however I have 3 wire 220V outlet in the shop.
I would deeply appreciate any advice, guidance, etc. reference this machine and situation.
