Changing tools from 115v to 230v...need switch
I did call Jet and they told me that switches that come with the tools would
work for 230v. I also looked at the switches for the bandsaw and tablesaw,
they actually state on them they are good for 30A 115v or 20A 230v. The
bandsaw was the hardest to re-wire since I had to take the motor off
completely to remove the end which allowed access to the 'plastic piece'
that needed to be moved to change to 230v. The other motors, I just
followed the sticker on them and changed the wires around.
Did a test with each machine after re-wire to verify I got it correct and I
did.

I have quite a few tools that I want to switch from 115v to 230v...yes,
they are able to be switched but come built with 115v. I am looking for
a switch to use for them. The tools are Jet 6" Jointer, Jet 1100A DC,
bandsaw and my table saw.
Looking at the Jet jointer and DC, they use the same type of switch
18AMP125V . Can't find a 230V version of it..
I am certain others have upgraded their tools and I was wondering where
they got there switches from.
TIA,
